Aria Dinner and Auction—La Bohème
Friday December 17, 2010
Eugene Country Club
Join us for an evening only Eugene Opera could present:  the Aria Dinner and Auction featuring the cast of La Bohème. If you’ve ever wanted to meet international opera stars in a private and elegant setting, and have them sing your favorite arias, ensembles, and classics from musical theater, this evening is for you! 

Upon your arrival at 6.00 pm, you’ll be able to mingle with other opera lovers and get to know the stars over wine and hors d’oeurves.  Then, after an elegant dinner crafted especially for us, the real fun begins! 

Our artists have prepared a list of favorite arias, songs, and ensembles from opera and musical theater. The list is too long to perform all this great music, so it’s up to you to bid on the favorites that you want to hear!  Our accompanist will be Eugene Opera’s new Music Director Andrew Bisantz, who may have a party piece of his own to add to the festivities!
