What do Hercules, Porgy, and the Norse god Wotan have in common? They’ve all been portrayed by big-voiced American bass-baritone Eric Owens. A frequent star of the Metropolitan Opera, he’s sharing the stage with students from the Curtis Institute, where he serves as director of vocal studies and the Curtis Opera Theatre. The quartet will perform gems from the lieder and song repertoire—anchored by Brahms’s lilting and pensive Neue Liebeslieder waltzes for four voices and four-hand piano, followed by operatic arias and ensemble pieces.
