ROGER PINES TO SPEAK ON

JBS-USA is privileged to present Chicago’s nationally acclaimed opera expert in a special Zoom presentation for the Society on Tuesday, August 6, 2024, at 7:30 pm EDT, which will be repeated on Saturday, August 10 at 12 noon EDT. JBS board member John Haley will serve as moderator. Mr. Pines will celebrate with audio clips and videos, multiple sopranos who partnered with Jussi over the years, but who were not as utterly identified with him as Milanov, de los Angeles, or Tebaldi. Included in his impressive list are Helga Görlin, Stella Andreva, Gina Cigna, Jarmila Novotná, Brita Hertzberg, Maria Németh, Maria Cebotari, Marian Claire, Mafalda Favero, Eidé Norena, Daniza Ilitsch, Willma Spence, Gertrude Ribla, Sylvia Stahlman, and Dorothy Warenskjold.
