Apollo’s Fire | Classical Sparks
Mozart was profoundly influenced by two composers – his teacher, Franz Joseph Haydn, and his extraordinary French-African colleague, Joseph Bologne (Chevalier de St-Georges). Haydn’s strikingly virtuosic Symphony no. 8 “Le Soir” and arias by Bologne meet Mozart’s delightful Violin Concerto no. 3 played by Alan Choo. Jonathan Pierce Rhodes appears as the Tenor Soloist with the highly acclaimed baroque orchestra, Apollo’s Fire.

Blue | Chicago Lyric Opera
Blue is destined to become an American classic. Co-produced by Lyric, The Glimmerglass Festival, and Washington National Opera, the opera presents the moving story of a Black middle-class family in Harlem whose hopes and dreams for their teenage son are shattered when he is shot by a white police officer. Tony-winning composer Jeanine Tesori’s magnificently moving music is matched by Tazewell Thompson’s probing, deeply sensitive libretto. Jonathan Pierce Rhodes sings the role of Policeman 2 and covers The Son.
Tickets: Blue | Lyric Opera of Chicago
Fellow Travelers | Opera Parallèle
The West Coast premiere of the opera adaptation of Thomas Mallon’s novel Fellow Travelers, a tender love story and political thriller set in the corridors of power during the McCarthy era. Adapted by composer Gregory Spears and librettist Greg Pierce, Opera Parallèle and the Presidio Theatre are proud to bring this contemporary classic to the West Coast, a beautiful opera with the message that love will always flourish under persecution. Jonathan Pierce Rhodes appears as Timothy Laughlin
