I would also like to mention an event taking place on May 6 at 8.00 p.m. at the Spectrum Theatre at Artisphere in Rosslyn, Va (just over Key Bridge from Georgetown). Tenor Carl Tanner (who is from Northern Virginia) is giving a recital, with proceeds going to support the newly-formed Aurora Opera Company of Arlington. Although this would not necessarily be a group activity, I think some of our members might be interested in going. It’s a great way to hear a world-renowned tenor (he last sang at the Metropolitan Opera in New York in December) without Kennedy Center Opera prices. More information or tickets can be found by calling 703-379-1433 or at http://www.auroraopera.org.
In the interest of full disclosure, I must tell you that my daughter-in-law is the General Director of the Aurora Opera Company(!)
Regards, Charlotte Jones
