A Night of Opera -
A Tribute to Puccini

Saturday May 12th, 2007

La Cucina’s culinary travels transport you to south central Italy through taste and sound. Delight in a four course menu prepared by Chef Maurice at an early 5pm seating as you enjoy your dessert to the sounds of our musical talent for the evening.

Later guests who prefer an 8:30 pm seating can indulge in a six course menu and will be accompanied by some of the best loved and most widely performed Puccini operas of the early 20th century.

Join us on May 12th as a vocal quartet comprising of Gail Malcom (soprano), Rosa Antony (mezzo-soprano), Ryan Harper and Paul Abelha (tenors) and Dave Manson (baritone) perform the heart warming melodies of Madama Butterfly and La Boheme. With the accompaniment of superlative pianist Lauren Cho, they will transport you through emotionally packed and musically sublime arias, duets and trios that will leave you wanting to hear more of this “giant” among composers, Giacomo Puccini.
