Join James Harp, Artistic Director, and the Directors of Maryland Opera for cocktails and conversation about where we've been and where we're going. The event will feature live performances by soprano Jouelle Roberson and tenor Anthony Ballard of excerpts from our sold-out production of Oshun & Kandake and our upcoming production of Madama Butterfly, as well as signature cocktails inspired by all three operas created by Peter Wood of The Spirit Shop on Falls Road. Enjoy light fare while you explore with us both our past and our exciting future. Sip and discover all the ways we are working to build bridges between traditional and new opera, opera lovers and opera newcomers alike.
