TCO's annual Opera and Beer event returning this week
JOHNSON CITY, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A fan favorite event that celebrates an unlikely pairing is returning this week.
Tri-Cities Opera is once again hosting Opera and Beer.
This year's event will be held at Factory by Beer Tree in Johnson City.
Guests will be able to enjoy dinner and craft beer as they hear from high-class talent. Musical selections are from popular operas and musicals. There will be drinking songs as well.
General Director John Rozzoni says the event is perfect for people who are opera-curious because it strips away the formalities of the art, making it less intimidating.
'At TCO, we believe that opera is for everyone. I think a lot of people who are not as familiar with the art form, the entertainment form, think of a certain thing that's hundreds of years old, in a foreign language, big, extravagant. And yes, that's part of what opera is, but opera is also very much a living and breathing art form,' said Rozzoni.
Rozzoni says the show is immersive, meaning performers will be drinking and cheers-ing along with the audience.
Opera and Beer will take place on Tuesday and Thursday at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6.
Tickets are $30 and include one free drink coupon.

Local 12 anchor announces she is leaving station: 'Cincy, I love you'
A Local 12 (WKRC-TV) anchor is leaving the station. Annie Brown, an anchor, reporter and host of "Tri-State: Unsolved," is leaving the station after two years on the air, she shared via social media Tuesday, May 20. Brown's last day will be May 31, she told The Enquirer via email. "To say these past two years have been a blessing would be an understatement," Brown wrote on social media. "I'm terrible at goodbyes and often avoid them because they're hard for me ... and this one gets me so emotional." "A piece of my heart will always be with Local 12. And I will forever be grateful for not just the career experience I gained, but the friendships I made during my time here. Cincy, I love you," she continued. Brown graduated from Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky, in 2021 with a bachelor's degree in journalism, per her bio on the Local 12 website. Brown joined the station in May 2023 after spending nearly two years as an anchor and reporter at ABC 36 (WTVQ-TV) in her hometown of Lexington, Kentucky. "I came to Local 12 as a very young, very inexperienced journalist. I was healing, I was learning, and I was desperate for a place that could encourage me and help me grow. I found just that in the people I've had the privilege to work with during my time here," Brown stated. She added that she "can't wait to share what's in store next."
