SUMMARY:Botticelli: Beauty\, Faith & the Renaissance
DESCRIPTION:Botticelli: Beauty\, Faith & the Renaissance\nTuesday\, November 10th\, 2026\n7:00 PM – 8:30 PM \nExplore the life and artistic legacy of Sandro Botticelli (1445–1510)\, one of the defining painters of the Early Renaissance who very early developed specific style of depicting religious and secular themes.\n\nWith soft colors and graceful lines deeply religious Botticelli depicted Virgin Mary as the ethereal and sublime figure in dozens of paintings. Inspired by classical myths\, like many Renaissance artists\, he created some of the best known paintings in the world: The Birth of Venus and La Primavera. With sensual\, seminude\, elongated figures of mythological goddesses Botticelli created a new\, idealized image of female beauty that reflects the Renaissance fascination with beauty\, spirituality\, and classical mythology.\n\nThis cultural program will explore his connection to the powerful artistic and intellectual circles of Florence\, and the changing cultural climate that dramatically transformed his work later in life under the influence of Girolamo Savonarola.\n\n\nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:Opera Luncheon at Casa Belvedere
DESCRIPTION:Opera Luncheon at Casa Belvedere\nThe Piano Goes to The Opera\nThursday\, Nov. 12 from noon to 3 pm\nThis event includes a three-course lunch with wine\, soft drinks and coffee.\nAdmission / Donation: $70 for members of Casa Belvedere and Garibaldi Meucci Museum\, $90 non-members. Includes tax and gratuities.\n\n\nEnjoy an afternoon of Italian opera\, fine dining\, and culture at Casa Belvedere. Our Opera Luncheons feature a three-course sit-down lunch paired with a special opera program by Lou Barella\, offering guests the perfect opportunity to savor delicious cuisine while learning about the beauty and passion of Italy’s most beloved musical tradition.\n\nThis presentation will explore the various ways that composers have written pieces for the piano interpreting operatic music.  The piano\, with its unique technical facility\, can ornament vocal lines with much more technical complexity than the human voice\, allowing for rambles and flights of rhapsodic fantasy. The piano pieces will be coupled with wonderful arias sung by great singers\, giving you the pleasure of hearing original vocal selections alongside their pianistic transcriptions. Some additional humorous and “surprise” performances will complete this diverse and entertaining experience!\n\nRegister here!
