The young soprano, with her rich background and captivating voice, promises a memorable evening that showcases her talent and cultural heritage.
Get ready, Beverly Hills! On May 24, 2025, the stunning soprano Golda Zahra will grace the beautiful Beverly Canon Gardens with a spectacular free concert, bringing the essence of opera right to your backyard. The concert kicks off at 6:30 p.m. local time, and it’s part of an exciting four-part summer series happening in Los Angeles this year.
Whether you’re an opera aficionado or just curious about the genre, this performance is designed for everyone. Guests are encouraged to come early and set up their spots with blankets and low chairs. Why not pack a delightful picnic while you’re at it? Enjoy the evening under the stars with family and friends!
Golda Zahra isn’t just performing; she’s sharing a rich mix of music that includes popular Italian-Neapolitan songs, timeless jazz classics, and cherished hits from Broadway and film. Among her highlights, she will enchant the crowd with the classic aria “Quandome’nvo” from Puccini’s beloved “La Boheme”, making it a night to remember.
But who is Golda Zahra, and what has shaped her incredible journey? This talented soprano, now just 25 years old, discovered her vocal prowess at the tender age of 8 while attending the prestigious Colburn School of Music in Los Angeles. After being nudged to take a course called Opera Choruses, she began honing her craft under the mentorship of vocal coach Kay Montgomery.
By 15, Zahra was already a sensation, winning the grand prize in Classical Voice at the Los Angeles Music Center’s Spotlight Awards. After completing high school, she took a leap of faith and moved to Rovigo, Italy, where she continued her education in music and worked with the illustrious soprano Barbara Frittoli. Her operatic debut came in 2020 as Violetta in an Italian production of “La Traviata”.
Zahra isn’t just about big performances; she’s also been a finalist in the Voci in Barcaccia international opera competition for Rai Radio in Rome in 2022. Maintaining a rigorous fitness routine and adhering to strict dietary habits, like avoiding spicy foods before a show, Zahra gets herself performance-ready with every opportunity.
She spends part of each month in New York, training with renowned coach Bill Schuman. Zahra has a keen understanding of the emotional depth required in singing—a quality she believes is essential for any young performer looking to connect with an audience.
This free concert isn’t just an event; it’s a mission to make opera and classical music more accessible for everyone. Zahra aims to attract listeners who might think opera isn’t for them, showing them just how beautiful and expressive this genre is.
Expect to hear fan-favorite tunes like “Mattinata,” “Somewhere over the Rainbow,” “Memory,” “I Could Have Danced All Night,” and “O Mio Babbino Caro.” With Zahra’s Iranian heritage reflected in her stage name—choosing “Zahra” to honor her roots—she’s set to share a piece of her culture through her powerful voice.
For those worried about getting to the concert, rest assured that Beverly Canon Gardens has public parking available, along with valet options at the nearby Maybourne Hotel. So gather your loved ones, pack your snacks, and prepare for a delightful evening full of terrific music and good vibes. Get ready to be wowed!
