The Youth Opera Company of Vermont gave performances of “An American in Paris” at the Waterbury Congregational Church and Faith United Methodist Church in South Burlington last weekend, under the direction of Sarah Cullins and music director Mary Jane Austin, who coached students musically, vocally and on French diction so they could sing familiar works by Gluck, Bizet, Bernstein and others.
