Opera Luncheon at Casa Belvedere
The Piano Goes to The Opera
Thursday, Nov. 12 from noon to 3 pm
This event includes a three-course lunch with wine, soft drinks and coffee.
Admission / Donation: $70 for members of Casa Belvedere and Garibaldi Meucci Museum, $90 non-members. Includes tax and gratuities.
Enjoy 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.
This 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!
