Romance And Revelry In Fair Verona

The Marriott has been secured for PORTopera's annual Dinner/Dance & Auction on Friday, May 9th, which this year will celebrate and support our 2008 mainstage production of Gounod's Romeo et Juliette. A sumptuous northern Italian dinner will be served, and the Bob Charest band, which rocked the house last year, will once again play for dinner and dancing.

As always, some of USM's brightest and best voice students will provide a few arias, accompanied by Aaron Robinson. Once again, the affable Frank Reilly will act as Master of Ceremonies.

John Locke, the auctioneer who will not be denied, will again try to break all former records for bids on donated auction items that are so popular with the PORTopera crowd, among them walk-on roles in the opera, a cruise for 2, a gourmet dinner for 10, a trip for two to the Metropolitan Opera, a commissioned portrait, and cooking lessons in a gourmet chef's own kitchen.

Tickets are $125 per person. An extra-special offer is being extended to young lovers. One table of eight is being reserved for couples age 35 and under and the ticket price is $75 per person. First come, first served, so call PORTopera to reserve today! -- www.portopera.org
