Dubbed "America's fastest-rising husband-and-wife opera stars" (Associated Press) and praised for their "palpable chemistry" (New York Times), Ailyn Pérez (soprano) and Stephen Costello (tenor) are have risen to become opera's new star couple. They both have been honored as winner of the prestigious Richard Tucker Award (Pérez 2012, Costello 2009) and now team up for their debut album on Warner Classics: a selection of love duets from opera and musical theater.
The music moves from the Romantic opera of Puccini ("O Soave Fanciulla" from La Bohème), Massenet ("N'est-ce plus ma main") and Verdi (Traviata's "Un dì felice," words which the couple have engraved on their wedding rings) to the tender lyricism of Broadway hits such as Bernstein's West Side Story ("One hand, one heart"), Rodgers & Hammerstein's Carousel ("If I loved you") and more.
Love Duets offers the perfect introduction to one of the music-world's most exciting new couples.
