The Art of the Chanteuse: Jazz Night @ MN Opera

Sopranos Alicia Gianni & Kelley Kimball reunite with pianist and Minnesota Opera VP, Artistic Joseph Li for an evening of jazz and cabaret songs for the final MNOP+ concert of the 2026-2027 season, singing everything from original tunes by Alicia Gianni to beloved standards by Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, and many others.

Joseph Li first met sopranos Alicia Gianni and Kelley Kimball as professional opera singers in Houston, TX – only later to discover a decades-long bond over applying their years of classical training to performing dozens of jazz and cabaret music concerts together at venues ranging from Houston Grand Opera and MATCH Houston to Sugar Hill Studios and Ovations Nightclub.
