The rising stars of today’s classical music have a place to shine in Atlanta with the Nancy Frampton Rising Artist series, a classical recital showcase at Morningside Presbyterian Church.

A much-anticipated performance from soprano Chelsea Lehnea is coming up on Oct. 20 after a reschedule. She has sung lead roles in productions of opera’s  beloved canon, from “Rigoletto” to “Turandot” to “The Magic Flute.”

Lehnea recently performed the title role in a pioneering revival of the lost-and-nearly-forgotten female composer Carolina Uccelli, whose opera “Anna di Resburgo” just saw its first performance since 1835.
