The New York Concert Opera will present “An Autumn Evening Soiree” on Nov. 6 from 6 to 10 p.m. at Osteria Santina Restaurant in Westerleigh as a fundraiser for the educational opera company.
The event serves as a prelude to the company’s upcoming annual classical Christmas concert and will feature a four-course dinner with wine alongside an intimate opera performance. Melody Alesi, who founded the company to reach Staten Island’s community through opera and create what she describes as a “magical experience” for adults and children, will perform alongside fellow sopranos Joan Callaghan and mezzo soprano Anna Tonna.
The evening will also include a special video presentation by opera educator Louis Barrella.
Tickets cost $110 per person, with reservations required by Oct. 30. Those interested can call 347-489-1129 or 908-635-2694 to reserve their spots.
The restaurant is located at 502 Jewett Ave. in Westerleigh. Checks should be made payable to the New York Concert Opera and mailed to 837 Jewett Ave., Staten Island, N.Y. 10314.
Alesi continues to promote the New York Concert Opera as an educational company that aims to build an audience that appreciates the art form throughout the Staten Island community.
