Like your Puccini with hints of smoky etherealness, bouquets of strawberry and oak, or aromas of earth and tobacco? Then come and taste your opera while enjoying lashings of wine at Opera Tasting 2011: Pouring out from the Heavens on Saturday, September 17, at Minnesota Opera Center.

What is Opera Tasting chair Megan Pelka most looking forward to?  "I'm definitely psyched for the season preview - while we all know what is being performed it will be fascinating to hear about the details of the production as well as costumes and scenery. And of course, performances from the Minnesota Opera Resident Artists. There are new singers this season and I'm looking forward to hearing their voices and getting to know them!"

A five course wine tasting courtesy of Solo Vino with delicious pairings from Toast Wine Bar & Café accompany your main dish - Minnesota Opera’s Resident Artists - as they swoon you, with a little Italian on the side. Indulge your taste buds on cadenzas, cabalettas, and arias by opera’s greatest composers as you preview Minnesota Opera’s 2011-2012 season. Wear decadent glam to fit in with our theme of Pouring out from the Heavens: Garden Party under the Stars.

Tickets are $50 for Tempo members; $75 for non-members.

Purchase your tickets by calling the Minnesota Opera Ticket Office at 612-333-6669.
