Aria Nouveau

Artists like Sarah Brightman, Josh Groban, and Andrea Bocelli pioneered the “classical crossover” genre, where elements of pop and opera seamlessly blend into a lush landscape of soaring vocals, rich orchestrations, and unbridled emotion.

ARIA NOUVEAU elevates the genre to new heights, combining the world-class talents of soprano Laura Auer (Top-10 Billboard-charting album series, syndicated music videos on VH1/Lifestyle Network, multiple symphony appearances) and tenor John Riesen (“America’s Got Talent” finalist, Lincoln Center soloist, 4+ million Spotify streams) in a thrilling duo concert event. ARIA NOUVEAU transports audiences on a journey through crossover hits (“The Prayer,” “Amigos Para Siempre”), Broadway blockbusters (“Music of the Night” – Phantom of the Opera, “Bring Him Home” – Les Misérables), mainstream opera favorites (“Nessun Dorma” – Turandot, “Quando me’n vo'” – La Bohème) and popular music made famous by legendary voices like Nat King Cole, Celine Dion, and Tony Bennett in an elegant and artful evening perfect for music lovers of all ages.
