Liv Redpath is a breakout starlet has a “youthful timbre and quicksilver bloom,” according to Parterre magazine. “It was as if the sky itself had been rendered into sound,” agrees Opera Magazine. The Harvard University alumna and Juilliard-trained vocalist, who is in her third season as a Domingo-Colburn-Stein Young Artist with Los Angeles Opera, has received awards from the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, Palm Springs Opera Guild, The Loren L.

She was raised in Minneapolis, Missouri.
This special evening will include Valentine’s Day-themed desserts, and champagne will be available at Casa Romantica’s cash donation bar.
Although the event is bound to be a popular draw for couples seeking a novel, elegant Valentine’s Day experience, the event seeks to include music lovers of all ages. As part of Casa Romantica’s exciting new classical music youth participation program, a limited number of $1 tickets are available for children ages 6-16 who wish to attend. [“Multiple studies have confirmed the correlation of improved cognitive thinking with playing and/or listening to classical music as children,” says Casa Romantica Executive Director Berenika D. Palys. “That said, a common barrier preventing children from exploring classical music is apprehension on the part of their parents or caregivers – they worry that their child may not be entertained by it, and so they don’t take the monetary risk to expose their child. With the launch of this program, that risk is removed, and a consistently low price enables families to make a habit of attending classical music concerts together.”]
