The Pinnacle Singers are Central Florida's premiere vocal ensemble, recently recommended by Channel 13 News, Each of us moved to DeLand after enjoying an international performing career - before discovering that we are neighbors!
Coming together to share our love for music with special guests and local audiences, The Pinnacle Singers was born.
We debuted a series of acclaimed revue shows which we now follow with a spectacular and innovative new production we have been developing: our curious re-Imagining of Puccini's stunning opera TURANDOT.
TURANDOT
Bringing live opera into such unexpected spaces as the Florida countryside, a downtown cocktail bar and even a current and former church, wherever you come to experience The Pinnacle Singers' TURANDOT you really are coming for just that: an experience... unlike any other!
Famous for the beloved tenor aria 'Nessun Dorma', TURANDOT is Puccini's final opera. Set in ancient China it tells the legend of a princess whose hand will be won by whichever visiting prince can answer her riddles correctly... though a wrong answer spells his demise!
Abridging this grand show to under an hour in length, The Pinnacle Singers have reimagined this spectacular score for a cast of just four - bringing the exhilarating experience of the world's finest and most ferocious voices up close and personal where you can enjoy every thrilling nuance. Rediscover the Legend of Turandot in an exciting new way!
Distinguished by ferocious singing, this is an opera in which grotesquely self-important characters fling themselves earnestly at absurd situations... with no regard for the consequences of their maniacal behavior!
Performed in a secret DeLand location, this event is truly exclusive - only twenty-five tickets are being made available!! Old Florida meets Ancient China, experience opera in a truly novel way: against the stunning backdrop of a rural sunset. General Admission includes refreshments!
About the event
The final performance in this short and exclusive debut run of The Pinnacle Singers' reimagining of TURANDOT will be the grandest, taking place at impressive Northwest Square in DeLand's Historic District in what was the sanctuary of a now repurposed church.
On-site parking at Northwest Square, and the adjacent lots are public parking after 5 pm and on weekends and holidays. Also plenty of street parking. Strictly NO PARKING in the gravel/tenants lot on W. Wisconsin.
In Puccini's opera, set in China, the Princess Turandot has sworn no man shall marry her unless he can correctly answer three riddles. Prince Calaf, who has fallen for Turandot, solves the riddles, but wants to set the Princess her own challenge. The power and beauty of Turandot's music gives everyone the opportunity to shine and includes the heroic anthem 'Nessun Dorma'.
