Miami's Own Elizabeth Caballero

Thanks to a mutual friend, Alhambra Antiques provided one of its vintage necklaces for star soprano, Elizabeth Caballero to wear for a recent Zarzuelas concert. Here is a pre-performance photo of Caballero modeling the pate-de-verre green and violet necklace. This spectacular piece will be auctioned next weekend at "A Night in Bollywood", a FUNdraiser for Sunil's Home, an orphanage in India.



This weekend, you can enjoy another wonderful musical performance at St. Bede Episcopal Church Center at the University of Miami. Soprano, Elizabeth Caballero with pianist Rachel Currea will perform an all Spanish Recital featuring works by Granados, Rodrigo, Turina and Obradors at Saturday, February 21st, at 7:30pm. The Chapel is located at 1150 Stanford Drive (near the main entrance of the University). Call 305-284-2333 for tickets and more information.

Acclaimed by the San Francisco Chronicle as a "powerful diva in the making" Cuban-American soprano, Elizabeth Caballero is becoming widely recognized for her fearless portrayals of the lyric soprano repertoire. She has been praised by Steven Smith of The New York Times for providing: "the evening's most show-stopping performance offering a thrilling balance of pearly tone, exacting technique and brazen physicality."

I've included some very romantic photos of Elizabeth in various opera roles. Opera is one of those arts that has somehow lost its place in trendy circles but is such a pleasure to attend. Where else can you get LIVE soap opera drama, fantastic music, dancing, and eye candy costumes and sets? And tickets are usually less than going to a professional football game!

The following photos are all from La Boheme, different companies, different roles:
