(Full-scale opera, with its costumes and grandeur, comes across as rather more fun.) But since they value intimacy, textual specificity and communicative ability, recitals remain crucial proving grounds for young artists. Voce: Rising Opera Stars in Recital, a series at Pace University started last year by the veteran impresario Matthew Epstein, has already been a valuable addition to the vocal scene. This season’s first concert, on Sunday, features the potent combination of the soprano Julia Bullock, a star at the Juilliard School in recent productions of Massenet’s “Cendrillon” and Janacek’s “The Cunning Little Vixen,” and the tenor Joseph Kaiser, over the past few years a Met stalwart in Mozart, Handel and Britten.
