Foxtrot down memory lane into 1940s Savannah with composer-in-residence Jodi Goble’s swing and American Songbook-infused operatic score, with a libretto co-written by Savannah VOICE Festival’s former composer-in-residence (and interim Artistic Director) Michael Ching.

Now in his ninetieth year, baritone legend Sherrill Milnes recalls his six decades on the American Stage. In this exclusive Learning Center presentation, Milnes highlights his performances in the role of Verdi’s Rigoletto. In the company of his wife, soprano Maria Zouves, he shares memories—and video footage—of some memorable performances.
Sherrill Milnes is an American baritone most known for his roles in the operas of Verdi. He enjoyed a career with the Metropolitan Opera and all the major operatic houses of the world.
Maria Zouves founded VOICExperience and the Savannah VOICE Festival with her husband Sherrill Milnes in 2001. An accomplished soprano in her own right, Zouves works with Milnes and the nonprofit programs to identify and foster young talent in the Savannah community as other major cities of the world.
