SUMMARY:A Nightingale Sang: 175 years of Music in History
DESCRIPTION:In 1851\, the Campbell House was newly built\, the city of St. Louis was flourishing\, and audiences across America were captivated by the voice of opera superstar Jenny Lind\, the “Swedish Nightingale.” 1851 also marked the end of Lind’s North American tour in St. Louis\, a historic event attended by the Campbells. One hundred seventy-five years later\, we invite you to return to that remarkable moment in time.\n\n\n\nJoin acclaimed soprano Angel Azarra for A Nightingale Sang\, an intimate concert performed in the historic parlor of the Campbell House. Surrounded by the elegance of a bygone era\, guests will hear selections from Jenny Lind’s famed 1851 tour alongside music connected to the Campbell family and their world. The program will be performed on the Campbells’ own 1855 square grand piano\, inviting you to imagine an evening much like one the Campbell family enjoyed.\n\n\n\nWith only 30 guests at each performance\, this rare musical gathering offers the chance to step beyond the museum ropes and into the rhythm of nineteenth-century life. Performances will be held Saturday\, September 12 at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday\, September 13 at 4:00 p.m. Tickets are $100 and availability is limited.\n\n\n \n\nListed by Operavore among the “40 Under 40: A New Generation of Superb Opera Singers”\, dramatic soprano Angel Azzarra is known for her “warm voice that swells from staggering size to pianissimi as effortlessly as the ocean waves” (Sybaritic Singer\,). Ms. Azzarra performed excerpts from the title role of Ariadne auf Naxos at Opera Theatre of St. Louis\,  where she was praised for “simply astonishing power and pure beauty” (Broadway World\,).  Further operatic commitments have included her triumphant ride as Gerhilde in Detroit Opera’s The Valkyries under the baton of Sir Andrew Davis\, Opera Festival of Chicago‘s inaugural seasons of Puccini’s Il Tabarro and Verdi’s Il Corsaro\, dell’Arte Opera Ensemble’s Donna Anna in Mozart’s Don Giovanni\, continuing that role with Gulfshore Opera and St. Petersburg Opera\, and her Mimì in Mobile Opera‘s La Bohème. Recent performances have included Turandot\, Foreign Princess with Opera Ithaca’s Rusalka\,  and her Kennedy Center debut described by The Washington Post as ““…visually vibrant and vocally dazzling” as Melpomene in Les Fêtes de Thalie with Opera Lafayette. Other works beyond the physical stage include a filmed production as Berta in The Barber of Seville with Opera Theatre Saint Louis and the lead in an original piece\, Once Upon a Winter\, which premiered on PBS in 2021. Angel also advocates for opera and classical music education on her YouTube channel\, and social platform AngelOpera\, which has reached over 5 million viewers\, and has over 57\,000 regular subscribers across platforms.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://angelazzarra.com/

SUMMARY:LECTURE: A History of Jefferson Barracks presented by NiNi Harris
DESCRIPTION:Romance\, Immigrants and Bob Hope at Jefferson Barracks \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBased on NiNi Harris’s new book\, Jefferson Barracks\, defending the nation since 1826 \nIn 1826\, the high ground south of St. Louis that overlooked the Mississippi was chosen for a frontier outpost of the U.S. Army named Jefferson Barracks. It became the site of the Army’s first Basic Training program\, the first U.S. Cavalry\, and the first parachute drop. \nIt was also a place where immigrants served their new country\, where newly-wed officers were posted and where West Point graduates met and married St. Louis girls. During World War II\, Jefferson Barracks was one of the places where Bob Hope made young scared recruits and draftees – destined for the battlefields in Europe and in the Pacific — burst into laughter and applause. \n\n\n\nAcclaimed St. Louis Historian NiNi Harris talks about the history of Jefferson Barracks leading up to the release of her new book. Lecture is on Sunday\, October 4th at 2 p.m. No reservation needed and parking is free on Sundays!

SUMMARY:Lecture: Mapping Missouri: A History of the Show-me State in 40 Maps presented by Andy Hahn
DESCRIPTION:Missouri is truly in the middle of it all. The state’s place at the confluence of the Missouri and the Mississippi Rivers attracted Native Americans\, French and Spanish fur traders\, and American pioneers and settlers. Missouri became a nexus for travelers from the east\, and the gateway to places further west\, while at the same time 14 of the Western US states were carved from Missouri Territory. \nIn the digital age\, maps are more accessible than ever. Today\, thanks to smart phones\, maps literally speak to you and tell you where you are going. But maps were just as important in the past. They not only helped you navigate the world\, but they also guided future plans and dreams. \nMapping Missouri by historian and museum professional Andrew W. Hahn charts the growth of the state from its geological formation millions of years ago to the present day. The book is designed as a history but also as a guide to encourage the reader to visit and experience their own areas of interest. Let Missouri “show you” its beauty and significance \nSunday\, October 18th\, Andy releases Mapping Missouri and lectures on the development of the state. \n  \nNo reservation needed; street parking is free on Sundays.
