Special Zoom presentation for JBS-USA on Tuesday, August 6 at 7: 30 pm EDT.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: August 5, 2024

JBS-USA is privileged to present Chicago’s nationally acclaimed opera expert in a special Zoom presentation for the Society on Tuesday, August 6, 2024, at 7:30 pm EDT, which will be repeated on Saturday, August 10 at 12 noon EDT. Following the presentation will be a Q & A segment, to which attendees may submit questions.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF QUESTIONS: July 29, 2024

Mr. Pines will celebrate with audio clips and videos, multiple sopranos who partnered with Jussi over the years, but who were not as utterly identified with him as Milanov, de los Angeles, or Tebaldi. Included in his impressive list are Helga Görlin, Stella Andreva, Gina Cigna, Jarmila Novotná, Brita Hertzberg, Maria Németh, Maria Cebotari, Marian Claire, Mafalda Favero, Eidé Norena, Daniza Ilitsch, Willma Spence, Gertrude Ribla, Sylvia Stahlman, and Dorothy Warenskjold.

Roger Pines is recognized nationally and internationally as an expert in the field of opera, encompassing writing, lecturing, broadcasting, adjudicating, and repertoire research/consultation. His voice is familiar to a large radio audience from appearances on the Metropolitan Opera broadcasts’ “Opera Quiz,” for which he has been a panelist since the 2005-06 season.
