Lisa Reagan's Enchanting Night at Riverside Theater

On April 14, 2025, the Riverside Theater in New York will host a remarkable concert featuring the acclaimed Washington National Opera alumnus, Lisa Reagan. For one night only, audience members will have the unique opportunity to witness her live performance of the album, WHAT WE NEED IS HERE. Set to commence at 8:00 PM, this exceptional event promises to be a night to remember.

Lisa will be supported by an extraordinary 20-piece ensemble of musicians, led by the Tony-winning and Grammy-nominated producer, Jamshied Sharifi. The lineup also includes the highly regarded Celtic multi-instrumentalist, Séamus Egan, guitarist Marc Copely, known for his contributions to Shucked and The Notebook, and Emily Whitaker, a talented pianist from The Band's Visit. The ensemble further features the rhythmic expertise of Philip Mayer (drums/percussion from The Band's Visit), harpist Kirsten Agresta Copely, bassist Richard Hammond (from Hamilton), and the distinguished woodwind artist Inna Dudukina. Adding depth to the performance will be the stunning vocals of Nicki Richards and Everett Bradley, known for their work in Stomp.

The music featured in WHAT WE NEED IS HERE draws inspiration from the profound words of celebrated poets such as Wordsworth, Shakespeare, Frost, Yeats, and Keats. Lisa regards this collection as a heartfelt project, stating, "I was fortunate to hand the songs on the album to Jamshied for orchestral arrangements and production. He is a brilliant musician who shares my commitment to honor the poets and their muses."

Critics have praised the album with recognition from Americana Highways, which described it as "mesmerizing," while New Music Alert highlighted its ability to engage in intimate conversations with the human heart and soul. Lisa experiences a deep connection with her audience and aims to evoke a transformative musical experience at the Riverside Theater, a venue rooted in the belief that art has the power to change lives.

Historically, Lisa Reagan has shared the stage with luminaries like Placido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti, and Renee Fleming at the Washington National Opera. Her performances have graced international stages, including the Salzburg Music Festival, Wolf Trap Opera, and special events at the White House.
