American tenors Lawrence Brownlee and Michael Spyres are two of our time's most acclaimed bel canto stars, singing at every major theater and concert hall around the world. In a rare collaboration, the tenors unite for Amici e Rivali. This unique album recently released on Erato features the singers in Rossini's virtuosic tenor duets. Lawrence Brownlee and Michael Spyres join host Stepan Atamian on this weekend's Saturday Night at the Opera at 9PM EST to discuss the album. In addition, the program features highlights from the album and Rossini's L'italiana in Algeri featuring Lawrence Brownlee from the Rossini in Wildbad festival.
