Opera, musical theater comes to Calabrisella


Nov 23 2009

High-class opera and musical theater comes to Kirkland, premiering in a special set of two shows at the Calabrisella Italian Ristorante on Sunday, Dec. 6.

The show is produced by Richard Engstrom of Bellevue, the past Education Vice-President of the Seattel Opera Guild, and Board member of the Performing Arts Festival/Eastside and Lyric Opera NW.

International award-winning singers will present two dinner/revue shows, featuring opera arias by Bizet, Mozart, Puccini, Verdi and others. “Carmen,” “Don Giovanni,” “La Boheme,” and others as well as selections from such popular musical theater offerings as “Les Miserables,” “Phantom of the Opera,” “Showboat” and more. Six singers and a piano accompanist dressed in gown and tuxedos will wax enthusiastic vocally in what promises to be a lovely evening of diverse music making. The program gets rolling at 5:30 p.m., with a second showing at 7:45-8 p.m. Call 425-822-7350 for reservations for a delightful evening of musical making at Calabrisella Ristorante Italiano, 132 Lake Street in Kirkland.
