Milwaukee, Wis--February 4, 2011--The Florentine Opera Company welcomes tenor Frank Kelley to Milwaukee on Friday, February 11, when he will facilitate a Masterclass for the four 2010-2011 Florentine Opera Studio Artists at the Lueders Florentine Opera Center at 926 E. Burleigh in Riverwest. Florentine audiences have recently seen Mr. Kelley performing in mainstage productions, including as Spoletta in Tosca (2009) and as Eddie Fislinger in the Midwest premiere of Elmer Gantry (2010).
       The Studio Artists, accompanied by Yasuko Oura, will perform songs from their personal repertoire and receive in-depth coaching from Mr. Kelley, at a fascinating public masterclass.  The event is free and open to the public, but space is limited. Those planning to attend should email Lisa Hanson with their name and the number of their party to ensure that space is reserved.
