Join us and Capitol City Opera Company on Tuesday, August 20th, for Dinner and a Diva: a night of delicious food and performances from Ludwig van Beethoven’s Fidelio.
“Fidelio is inspired by a true story from the French Revolution. It centres on a woman, Leonore, whose husband Florestanhas been secretly imprisoned by his political rival – the villainous Don Pizarro. Determined to rescue him, Leonore disguises herself as a young man named ‘Fidelio’ and gets a job in the prison where he is being held. As Fidelio, she earns the trust of the jailer Rocco (and also the affections of his daughter Marzelline, which leads to some awkward moments…) On the orders of Don Pizarro, Rocco is slowly starving Florestan to death. However, when news breaks that a government official named Don Fernando is coming to investigate rumours of cruelty in the prison, Don Pizarro decides to speed things up and execute Florestan himself – as soon as possible. Will Leonore be in time to save him?”
Dinner and a Diva: Fidelio is sponsored by Mike Lorton and Gary Youngblood

There’s just one problem, someone in this kitchen is serving their dishes with a side of “murder!” Will anyone have what it takes to survive this “cutthroat kitchen” and not end up getting “chopped?” One thing is for sure, you’re going to need to be able to do more than bake, braise or boil to survive all this butchery! Join us every Friday and Saturday night as Murder, Mystery, and Mayhem presents “Hell’s Killer Kitchen”.
Join us on Tuesday, July 16, for Dinner and a Diva, a night of delicious food and performances from Cole Porter’s Anything Goes, by the Capitol City Opera Company.

“A toe-tapping evergreen classic with music and lyrics by Cole Porter, this voyage of the S.S. American between New York and England is filled with a madcap group of passengers, witty repartee, exceptional singing and brilliant dancing. Billy instantly falls in love with a beautiful girl he meets in a taxi. When he discovers she’s boarding the SS American, the same London-bound ship his boss and co-worker Reno are boarding, he sneaks aboard himself. The beautiful girl, Hope, is engaged to a stuffy British aristocrat, Lord Evelyn, but that doesn’t stop the love-struck Billy. With the help of other passengers, Billy seeks to shake Reno, whose love he doesn’t return, and capture the heart of the girl of his dreams – all without hurting anyone’s feelings.”
