Opera returns to Front Royal, Thursday, July 21
Thursday, July 21 – tomorrow! – sees the return of opera to Front Royal at the Osteria Maria Restaurant, as before.
There has been a two-year lull since sold-out operatic programs were presented at the Italian eatery, and a program returns but under new management, so to speak. Italian cuisine, of course, accompanies the entertainment. Call 540-631-1101 for tickets and further information.
Tomorrow’s offering, featuring excerpts from several popular operas presented by chef Biagio Vignola and restaurant management, features local baritone Elliot Matheny and mezzo-soprano Katelyn Neumann accompanied by pianist Minji Nam. David Freese of Front Royal was one of the major presenters of the previous five programs, the first of which was staged in 2016. He bowed out this year in favor of Vignola, an alumnus of the Inn at Little Washington.
