Opera Parallèle's Birds and Balls

April 07, 2024 | The Opera Tattler

“Opera Parallèle gave a splendid performance of two comedic one-act operas yesterday at SFJAZZ…Vinkensport is about Flemish folk sport of Finch-Sitting, in which trained finches try to sing the most "susk-e-wiets" in an hour as possible. In this opera there are six competitors, all the finches have very amusing names…soprano Chelsea Hollow's character who trains Farinelli is actually just using a tape recorder, since her bird is deceased. Hollow's voice is crystalline and very beautiful.”
