Springs, East Hampton, New York: The Leiber Collection is delighted to announce Puccini ed Amici (Puccini & Friends) with world-class opera singers, soprano Ashley Bell and baritone Daniel Sutin, back by popular demand following their sold-out August concert in the Garden at The Leiber Collection.

The program will include beloved arias and duets from La Bohème and Madama Butterfly, as well as rarely performed gems from Edgar. In the spirit of friendship and artistic exchange, the concert will also feature works by Puccini’s contemporaries and colleagues, including Ruggero Leoncavallo, best known for the timeless Pagliacci.
