Sarasota Opera is set to launch a new program this spring with a series of summer concerts entitled Sarasota Opera House PRESENTS. This series will bring Sarasota audiences musical performances of American standards, jazz, rock, bluegrass, country and more. Sarasota Opera will debut this new series on Friday, May 4, at 7:30pm with Tony Danza, who will offer an unforgettable evening with his cabaret show entitled Standards & Stories. Combining timeless music with wit, charm, storytelling and a dash of soft shoe and ukulele performances, Danza is accompanied by his talented four-piece band. Danza performs a selection of his favorite standards from the Great American Songbook, as well as selections from the hit Broadway musical Honeymoon in Vegas (which he also starred in), while interweaving stories about his life and personal connection to the music. Tickets for Tony Danza: Standards & Stories range from $39 - $89 with a limited number of VIP seats at $125, which include a post-show meet-and-greet with Danza. On Saturday, August 18, the Sarasota Opera House PRESENTS series continues with Ricky Nelson Remembered, starring Nelson’s twin sons, Matthew and Gunnar Nelson.
