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.
