The Voice of Spring
Diana Skavronskaya, soprano.
Diana's exceptional talent, stunning soprano voice and devotion to opera are at the heart of the Opera Club's success.
Nicholas Huff, tenor.
“An authentic bel canto singer […], free, ringing high tones that stopped the show [… and] the melting lyric timbre, beguiling stage personality and theatrical aplomb to dominate the stage.” (South Florida Classical Review).
This 2024 season, soprano Diana Skavronskaya looks forward to returning to the role of Mimi in Puccini's La Bohème in San Francisco with Pocket Opera & Cinnabar Theater for nine performances in June and July. The soprano first took on this role in the 2018/19 season at Batumi State Musical Center and Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory.
She will take the stage alongside the magnificent tenor Nicholas Huff who will take on the role of Rodolfo for the same nine productions.
Founder of the Opera Club and one of San Francisco's most captivating sopranos, Diana had an honor of singing at the Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall and Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage. Diana graduated from the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory and brings to the stage extensive international experience.
Tenor Nicholas Huff has been hailed for his "Vocal and dramatic fearlessness” (Voix des arts) in leading roles across the country. Highlights include Don Ottavio in Mozart’s Don Giovanni with the Florida Grand Opera; the role of Mitch in Florida Grand Opera’s new production of A Streetcar Named Desire; and the role of Nemorino in Miami Lyric Opera’s production of L’elisir d’amore.
Mr. Huff has been part of several Young Artist Programs from both the Summer Residency and year-long studio at the Milwaukee Florentine Opera, and the studio at Florida Grand Opera and Sarasota Opera, to Merola Opera’s Young Artist, and Des Moines Metro Opera's Apprentice Artist programs. Nicholas is a member of the Cafritz Young Artists of Washington National Opera, a program of the John F Kennedy Center For the Performing Arts.
Nicholas Huff is cast in the role of Rodolfo from Puccini's opera La Bohème and will perform alongside soprano Diana Skavronskaya.
Ken Mitchell will be MC of the recital
