High Standards starring Lorrianna Colozzo and Special Guests
Local opera star and soprano vocalist Lorrianna Colozzo is back again this season with a new take on Broadway, opera and American Songbook standards. High Standards brings the sounds of these three diverse genres together for a night that explores the power of the human voice. Starring Lorrianna, Graham Fandrei, Rebekah Diaz, and James Channing, High Standards will take you on a journey through the history of the sounds of the opera house, recording studio, and Broadway stage.
With a background in musical theatre, cabaret, and opera, Lorrianna Colozzo has crafted a voice unlike any other. A graduate of the Peabody Conservatory of Music, Colozzo has received numerous awards and grants, including from The Metropolitan Opera National Council. Throughout her career, Lorrianna Colozzo has appeared in a number of diverse operatic roles, including Valencienne in The Merry Widow, Nanetta in Falstaff, and Adele in Die Fledermaus, among others.
