Kingston, Jamaica, is set to experience a spectacular fusion of music in November 2024 as the highly anticipated Éclat Opera: An Evening of Arias, Classics, Spirituals, and Jazz takes center stage at the Little Theatre. Scheduled for November 16 and 17, 2024, this event promises to be a memorable celebration of diverse musical genres, showcasing both local and international talent.
The Éclat Opera will feature performances by members of The Concert Chorale of Harlem, in collaboration with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Jamaica. Audiences can expect a night filled with powerful renditions of beloved arias,
timeless classical pieces, soulful spirituals, and the lively rhythms of jazz, all brought to life by world-class musicians.
