Opera Performance Pays Tribute to CIM’s History

The CIM Opera Theater—with artistic director Dean Southern, conductor Harry Davidson and the Cleveland Institute of Music Orchestra—takes the stage to present a gala-style performance November 5-6 in Kulas Hall. 

Mexican-American bass-baritone Richard Ollarsaba (BM ’09, Schiller/Southern) returns to his alma mater for this exciting tribute to CIM’s illustrious singing history. The performance will feature some of opera’s most beloved arias and ensembles – from Mozart to Wagner – and will conclude with Vaughan Williams’ stirring Serenade to Music, all under the baton of Maestro Harry Davidson with the CIM Orchestra.
