La Regata Veneziana is a musical regata by Gioachino Rossini for voice and piano. There are three songs: Before the Regatta, While the Regatta Passes, and After the Regatta. Brava to mezzo soprano Paulina Sliwa, and thanks to Marcus Thompson for making this event possible. You may remember Paulina from her performance in the MITSO extravaganza MIdsommer Night's Dream by Mendelssohn conducted by Adam Boyles in 2009.
