Bethlehem, Pa. — March 3, 2017 — PBS39 is excited to host Latino opera sensation Fernando Varela in studio this Monday, March 6 at 8 p.m. as part of this month’s fundraising drive. Varela will take part in a live interview to talk about his American musical journey, which led him to the production of the PBS special, Coming Home.
Coming Home features the world-class tenor with special guests Jackie Evancho, William Joseph, Stephen Moccio, and Caroline Campbell for a magical evening showcasing musical favorites, including “Nessun Dorma,” “All By Myself,” “Three Times a Lady,” and more.
Varela has performed at the White House, Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, and on America’s Got Talent. His first classical-crossover album, “Vivere,” will debut later this month, and will be followed by an extensive tour of the United States. PBS39’s live presentation of Coming Home will also highlight the singer’s upcoming local performance at the Santander Performing Arts Center in Reading on November 12, 2017. Tickets are available here, and include VIP Meet and Greet opportunities.
Viewers will have multiple opportunities to enjoy Coming Home on PBS39, with an encore presentation of this program set to air Sunday, March 12 at 5:30 p.m. For full schedule information, please visit PBS39 online.
