In a concert on Saturday June 24th at 4 p.m., bass-baritone Jan Opalach will present a recital at the Grace Church in Brooklyn Heights to benefit Brooklyn’s Habitat for Humanity.

Opalach, a friend of my friend opera singer Amy Burton, will sing songs by Charles Ives, J. Guy Ropartz, and Edvard Grieg.

      Jan Opalach’s voice has been described as "lyric," "flexible," and
      "displays a wonderful variety of color." He is one of America’s most versatile
      performers on the operatic stage today. Combining serious musicianship with
      excellent acting skills, Mr. Opalach is highly regarded for his superb understanding
      of a broad range of musical styles and eras. He is also well known for a
      repertoire which includes both serious and comic character roles.
