ABOUT THE PERFORMERS: Postponed by the global pandemic and Hurricane Sally, Pensacola Opera’s Jukebox Gala has been reimagined as “Jingle Jukebox” as our community prepares for a much needed celebration of the holidays. Smoldering mezzo soprano Ginger Costa-Jackson, who has performed leading roles with the Metropolitan Opera, Seattle Opera, Paris Opera, and Barcelona’s Gran Teatro del Liceu, will be joined by heroic tenor Paul Groves, who has enjoyed appearances with the Metropolitan Opera, Opera de Lyon, Paris Opera, and Lyric Opera of Chicago. Baritone Corey McKern combines his many appearances with Pensacola Opera with performances with Opera Hong Kong, Santa Fe Opera, Florentine Opera of Milwaukee, and Nashville Opera. Soprano Sheila Dunn is a native Pensacolian and the Chair of UWF Department of Music who has enjoyed appearances with Pensacola Opera, Chautauqua Opera and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. With appearances in Houston, New Orleans, Redwoods Opera, Pensacola Opera and the Leipzig Youth Symphony, Soprano Allanda Small makes her first appearance in this year’s Jukebox Gala. A former Artists in Residence with Pensacola Opera and a native of China, Bizhou Chang has appeared with Boston Conservatory Opera, Berlin Opera Academy, Janiec Opera Company, and Miami Music Festival. This impressive complement of singing talent continues with tenor Peter Lake who has appeared with Virginia Opera, Central City Opera, Houston’s Opera in the Heights!, and the Pacific Opera Project.
