OPERAGANZA:
EXPERIENCE THE FANDOM

Saturday, november 19, 2022 | 5:00 PM & 8:00 PM
Hilton Cincinnati netherland plaza

Event Chairs: Regina Carswell Russo and James D. Stapleton

On November 19, 2022 we celebrated the real MVPs of Opera; YOU, the fans! Opera fans were (and are) the original devotees, the enthusiasts, the ones chasing down singers with riotous praise, long-stemmed roses and fevered adoration. Together we raised a glass in tribute to our amazing fans, and danced the night away. Thank you fans—and thanks to everyone who joined us to raise money in support of our mission and 2023 Summer Festival.

Keep the party going!

If you weren’t able to join us, or you want to keep the party going, you can show your support by celebrating an opera super fan in your life.

Celebrate an Opera Super Fan

Who’s the biggest opera fan in your life? Maybe it’s a mentor, a friend, the person who introduced you to opera in the first place… maybe it’s YOU! Now is your chance to celebrate them in a meaningful way! Make a donation of $50 or more in their honor, and we will recognize them in the program book for our 2023 Summer Festival!
