The evening’s repertoire was rich and diverse, featuring beloved arias by Strauss, Puccini, Bizet, and more. A highlight was Chaz’men’s presentation of rare Leoncavallo songs, a project close to his heart, which he rediscovered after years of searching. “I presented the first five in what I am planning to be a full program of Leoncavallo. It was very exciting,” he shared.

This Spotlight event not only showcased Chaz’s vocal prowess but also his passion for bringing lesser-known works to the forefront, creating a deeply personal and memorable musical experience. Chaz also opened in Florentine Opera’s production of La Boheme on April 19,2024.
