Welcome to the 10th Anniversary Season of Bel Canto Alaska! Our classically trained singers once again have planned a diverse 2011-2012 performance series starting with “Unusual Suspects!” There’s a “suspect” demise; a “mysterious” will; a troupe of “unusual” beneficiaries – there’s even a ghost! Follow the clues with the singers of Bel Canto, guest artist Tim Fosket and Freya and James Wardlaw-Bailey as they unwittingly solve a mystery and maybe inherit something more valuable than money! It would be a crime to miss it!

The exciting second show of this anniversary season is our annual scholarship fundraiser. Bel Canto is always looking for unique venues and we feel we have found one in the Alaska Museum of Natural History where we will present “Raiders of the Lost Art!”, Saturday, March 17th. Along with ‘historic’ music, you will enjoy food, fine wine and as you “explore” our special silent auction. We invite you to join the singers of Bel Canto, Freya & James Wardlaw-Bailey and guest artist Buzz O’ Plex marionettes for a performance as diverse as the fauna and flora of Alaska! TICKETS: $35 at Centertix.net or by calling 274-ARTS! Dinosaurs and Divas – you don’t want to miss it!

And, our final show of our anniversary season is special, indeed as Bel Canto presents: “Love and Other 4 – Letter Words!”, Saturday, June 2nd at UAA’s Fine Arts Building, Anchorage and Sunday, June 3rd at the Valley Performing Arts Center, Wasilla. Join the singers of Bel Canto, Freya & James Wardlaw-Bailey and our very special guest artists - the winners of our 3rd Anniversary Singing Competition in a world of words as varied as those in Webster or Wikipedia! TICKETS: $20 at Centertix.net or by calling 274-ARTS. Love, hate, joys, sigh, lust, hope, envy, kiss, give, want, time, weep, SING….and so many more “four letter” words that prove: ‘Music is the universal language!’
