Our next installment of the Dinner and a Diva series, on Tuesday, April 18, (sponsored by the Opera Y'all Meetup Group) features highlights from Rossini's The Italian Girl in Algiers.
The Italian Girl in Algiers (L’italiana in Algeri) was Gioachino Rossini’s 11th opera, yet he was still only 21 years old when it premiered on May 22, 1813, at the Teatro San Benedetto in Venice.
Writing for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in April 2009 Andrew Druckenbrod penned: " 'The opera is Rossini's first buffo masterpiece,' writes the Grove Book of Opera. "It quickly won widespread popular acclaim in Italy and it was the first Rossini opera to be produced in Germany and France."
Capitol City Opera cast members and the roles they will be singing at the April Dinner and a Diva are: Reverie Berger (Isabella), mezzo-soprano; Daniel Weisman (Lindoro), tenor; Wade Thomas (Taddeo), baritone; and Ivan Segovia (Mustafa), bass. They will be accompanied by Catherine Giel, Capitol City Opera’s music director.
The dinner includes hors d’ oeuvres, salad, choice of two entrees, dessert, coffee/tea, and two glasses of wine, for only $60 per person (tax included; gratuity separate). The performers from the Capitol City Opera Company sing between each course. The evening begins at 6:15 p.m. with a cash bar and hors d’oeuvres reception; dinner and performance start promptly at 7 p.m. Reservations are required. Please call 404 634-6268.
On Sunday, April 16, join us for a special 4-course Easter Sunday Brunch menu. Choose a soup, salad, entree, and dessert for just $37 per person (kids have their own menu for $9.95 each).

It is with heavy hearts that we announce that Stephanie Belcher, longtime manager and owner of Violette, has passed away suddenly. She was recovering from illness and improving dramatically, when she took a turn for the worse and was unable to be revived last Monday night. We will pass along more details as they become available. We remember Stephanie fondly and hope to honor her by carrying on her legacy with Petite Violette. In lieu of flowers, Stephanie's family requests donations be made to the Callanwolde Fine Arts Center's Scholarship Program, in Stephanie's name. Go to Callanwolde.org, click on "giving", then on "donate" and "donate here". Then, specify that this is for the scholarship program. Many thanks in advance for honoring Stephanie.
