Madeline Manaker is organizing this fundraiser.

Hello everyone! My name is Madeline Manaker and I am an operatic singer in the Washington, DC area. This summer I will be performing the role of Angelina/Cenerentola in Rossini's La Cenerentola with La Musica Lirica. I am so excited to perform my first full role and have the opportunity to learn from such amazing faculty members at La Musica Lirica. During the 5-week program, I will take Italian classes, receive coachings and lessons with a special focus on the Italian repertoire, and sing in two fully staged productions of La Cenerentola. This program is an amazing opportunity and I am extremely appreciative of any support you can offer. All donations will be directly used for my program tuition or travel costs. There are no performances without an audience, and you all are integral in my growth and development as an artist!

Below are two videos, one is a recording of an aria from a different Rossini opera - "Una voce poco fa" from Il barbiere di Siviglia, and the first episode in my "Fireside Chats: By the Cinders with Cinderella" - a video series introducing you all to the opera, La Cenerentola. I hope you enjoy these and I look forward to sharing material from La Cenerentola with you all soon!
