Masquerade was a live, socially-distanced concert of operatic gems performed at the breezeway venue “Anita’s Way”, located just steps from Times Square. Produced in collaboration with NYC non-profit arts organization ChaShaMa, it encouraged safe self-expression through creative mask-wearing. Pianist Doug Han will led the musical direction of this exciting program. Artists performed with amplification in the open air, donning formal attire and elaborately designed masks.

Performances by: Samina Aslam, Erik Bagger, María Brea, Angky Budiardjono, Kofi Hayford, MaKayla McDonald, Eva Parr, Barbara Porto, Linda Collazo, Rashard Deleston, Stan Lacy and Victor Khodadad
