At 76, retired University of Wisconsin-Madison music professor Karlos Moser remembers the first time he heard and saw grand opera produced grandly. He was studying at Princeton University in New Jersey and would slip into New York City to see productions at the famed Metropolitan Opera. That’s where he saw the world’s greatest singers in the world’s greatest operas.
….Moser, who composes as well as produces, directs and conducts opera, will hold a special concert this Sunday to raise money for an endowment fund to buy season tickets to professional opera companies in Madison, Milwaukee and Chicago. UW students, including musicians and production people, would get to use those tickets.
