Every third Tuesday of the month, we host Dinner and a Diva. Each event features live entertainment consisting of selections from a famous opera performed by the Capitol City Opera Company’s singers. January’s selection is La Traviata, on Tuesday, January 21st. In addition to an evening of music, you’ll enjoy a gourmet four-course dinner with wine, leaving you with an evening to remember. Your dinner will include a sampling of premium hors d’ oeuvres, fresh salad, choice of two gourmet entrees, decadent dessert, hot coffee/tea, and two glasses of fine wine, for only $75 per person (plus tax and gratuity). Hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar open at 6:15 p.m., and the dinner and show start promptly at 7:00 p.m. Make reservations on our home page now.
“La traviata” is a tragic opera by Giuseppe Verdi where Violetta, a high-class Parisian courtesan living a glamorous but ill life, falls deeply in love with a young man named Alfredo Germont, despite the societal disapproval of their relationship; however, when Alfredo’s father pressures her to leave his son for the sake of the family’s reputation, Violetta sacrifices her love, leading to her eventual decline and death from consumption, leaving Alfredo heartbroken and realizing the depth of her sacrifice only too late.”
