Opera Dinner at Casa Belvedere: Delightful & Demanding Duets in Opera
Friday, April 25, 2025 • 6 to 9:30 pm
$90 Members/ $100 Non-Members
Come enjoy great food and the company of Opera lovers! This event includes a buffet dinner, live opera performances, and a presentation by Opera Educator Lou Barrella.
Opera lovers always enjoy listening to solo arias; but when two singers blend their voices in a beautifully or dramatically harmonized duet, our listening becomes doubly rewarded. The event will feature live performances by soprano Melody Alesi and mezzo soprano Anna Tonna. Lou’s presentation will feature a variety of Tenor-Baritone duets from memorable operas.
Lou Barrella has been a dedicated Music Educator for over 50 years, specializing in Music and Opera Appreciation. Most importantly, he has given workshops and organized student trips for the Education Department of the Metropolitan Opera for 40 years and continues to do so. He has been a Guest Lecturer at Colleges, Museums and Cultural Institutions; and has made over 900 presentations since 1993, including over 75 for us at Casa Belvedere since 2010. Lou was instrumental in establishing the Enrico Caruso Gallery on the third floor of the Mansion and has also assisted in many other events here including the annual Car Show & Festa, Special Luncheon & Dinners, the Presepio and Outdoor Film Nights.
