b'SPOTLIGHT on Alexis Peart andAnthony Roth CostanzoFor mezzo soprano Alexis Peart, the 2024 Princeton Festival was a special kind of homecoming. The Cos fan tutte artist grew up in Titusville, NJ and credits the Princeton Festival with her very first operatic experiences, singing in the chorus of the Festivals productions of Carmen and La bohme as a child.Metropolitan Opera star countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzos very first role was with Opera Festival New Jersey, the Princeton Festivals predecessor. Costanzos full-circle moment performing with the PSO at Princeton Universitys Richardson Auditorium in January was further enhanced by the fact that he was also performing at his alma mater.Rossen Milanov, Edward T.
