Welcome to Operatini: Gentle Men, a magical dinner theater experience that offers the perfect introduction to the world of opera and more. This event showcases a captivating mix of opera, musical theatre, and art songs, performed by exceptional local talent who have graced stages across the United States and Europe.

Your ticket includes a buffet dinner with:

• Beef Shepherd’s Pie with Seasonal Vegetables
• Roasted Potatoes
• Mixed green salad
• Rolls with butter
• Apple Cobbler with Whipped Topping

For this Operatini, the featured cocktail is the Paper Plane – a nod to the idea that the men on stage were once kids folding paper planes. This cocktail blends nostalgic charm with a touch of  sophistication. 

Paper Plane: a mix of Amaro Nonino, Aperol, lemon, and Elijah Craig .

Please note that all drinks, including the special cocktails, are sold separately.

Under new General Director Stacey Trenteseaux, Operatini will feature innovative performances, culminating with soprano Kirstin Chavez's "Carmen Inside Out" on May 22, 2025—a one-woman show based on Bizet's Carmen.
