For fans who could not attend our June 2025 Festival in person—or for those wishing to experience the Festival magic again—we invite you to enjoy the exceptional talent of BEMF artists in the comfort of your own home with our ENCORE! Virtual Festival.
Our 2025 Virtual Festival showcases a curated selection of operas and concerts recorded live at the June 2025 Festival recorded by GRAMMY-winning audio engineer Antonio Oliart Ros and acclaimed videographer Kathy Wittman of Ball Square Films.
