Part 2 is entitled Quartet For Leading Lights and will feature opera singers Rachelle Gerodias and Camille Lopez-Molina and musical theater artists Sheila Francisco and Reb Atadero. They will share their journeys through the worlds of opera and musical theater and discuss the highs and lows of their careers.
