This year’s Richard Tucker Foundation Gala — a perennial highlight of the opera season — celebrates Richard Tucker’s centennial with performances by many of the world’s greatest voices and a salute to this year’s award winner, Isabel Leonard.

She received rave reviews – and a Tony Award – for her performance in Broadway’s revival of "Pippin."

James Naughton has played his fair share of scoundrels, lotharios and would-be legends. Tonight, he takes on the work of Randy Newman, who specializes in just those sorts of characters.

Hailing from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, one of the meccas of American music, Jason Isbell is creating a sound that expands on his roots and cuts close to the bone.
