Now announcing the 2010-2011 Opera Dinner Season !
Third or Fourth Thursday of the month:

Mozart
A dragon, a bird-man, and evil queen... this fantastic singspiel is full of
comedy and drama!
October 21:
The Yeomen of the Guard -
Sullivan
(with special guest
Catherine Verrilli)
Gilbert and Sullivan’s most “operatic” of their operettas. A great
story of confusion and wrong identities… funny and sad at the same time.
November 18: Man of La Mancha -
Leigh
This story of Don Quixote contains the inspirational "To Dream the
Impossible Dream".
January 20: Carmen -
Bizet
Full of opera's most memorable tunes - a classic story of love gone wrong.
February 24: Guys & Dolls -
Loesser
A masterpiece of the American Musical Theater - contains such great hits as
"Luck be a Lady Tonight", "Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat" and "I've
Never been in Love Before".
March 24: Così fan tutte -
Mozart
We started our Opera Dinners with this wonderful bit of Mozart over six
years ago... a quartet of lovers that find out that all is not as it seems!
April 21: Into the Woods -
Sondheim
This show weaves traditional children's stories with powerful music and
lyrics: Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood...
they all come together to teach everyone a few life lessons.
May 19:
Turandot -
Puccini
Puccini’s last (and unfinished) opera has at its center an icy princess
that will have your head cutoff if you don’t answer her questions correctly!
