Join us in congratulating our Baumgartner Studio Artist alum, soprano Sara LeMesh, on her 3rd place finish at the Zenith Opera Competition! We’ve watched your artistry grow with admiration and pride, and we couldn’t be happier to see you shine. Brava, Sara — we’re cheering you on every step of the way! (fb)

A massive shoutout to our Baumgartner Studio Artists—triple threats, chaos coordinators, and the heartbeat of Florentine Opera this season. From school gyms to the mainstage, they’ve sung it all (sometimes before noon!). Thank you to Brandan, Jerek, and Sara—we’ll miss you more than tea on a show day. Milwaukee will always be your home base, whether you’re singing, visiting, or just craving cheese curds. And to Danny and Lauryn—see you next season. No getting rid of us now. You’re not just artists. You’re family. Slightly chaotic family, but family. ❤️ (fb)
