Martina Arroyo Foundation presents La Traviata at Hunter College
On the evening of Thursday, July 10, the Martina Arroyo Foundation celebrated the 10th anniversary of their Prelude to Performance series at the Sylvia Fine and Danny Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College (where Arroyo was also a graduate) with a performance of La Traviata.
The husband and wife team of Kaye and Fine came from Brooklyn and his films are classics today. Kaye, who worked with UNESCO, would be so proud to witness young people of all nationalities having their dreams fulfilled in a theater bearing his name. Fine was a lyricist, composer and producer of many of Kaye’s productions.
Fresh from her triumph in Washington D.C., having received an award from the President with several other illustrious Americans, legendary and beloved soprano Arroyo returned to New York to continue her work with her students and foundation as founder and artistic director.
