On Saturday afternoon, the up-and-coming opera singers performed at a Vienna, Virginia, parking lot. With most performances at the Kennedy Center dark due to the pandemic, the singers found the sunshine as their spotlight, and socially distanced music lovers at the Vienna Shopping Center.
As per
wtop.com, "The fans, wearing masks, sat on the asphalt of the parking lot, lawn chairs brought from home, or stayed in their cars with the windows open. Some children climbed out of sunroofs to see the performers and hear the dramatic, lilting, and evocative sounds of classical music and opera."
Rob Ainsley, director of the Cafritz Young Artists Program said, "We can’t perform in the Kennedy Center Opera House, so we’re getting out into the community and continuing to bring opera to our supporters." The group surprised Northern Virginians going about their Saturday afternoon errands by performing shows at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., in the parking lot of Vienna Shopping Center.
