Tickets: $500
An evening of elegance, voice, and verve.
Step inside one of Baltimore’s most stunning historic spaces for an evening of fine fare, extraordinary wine, and unamplified opera at close range. Opera Baltimore’s Gilded Age Dinner brings guests together for a multi-course meal, exceptional wines, real conversation, and live performances by remarkable artists whose voices fill the room without a microphone in sight.
Bass-baritone Kevin Short, renowned Metropolitan Opera artist, Juilliard teacher, and celebrated mentor, brings his storied voice and commanding artistry to the evening. Pianist Eileen Cornett, a distinguished Peabody collaborator, lends her virtuosity at the keyboard. From Brazil, soprano Manuela Korossy, fresh from Juilliard, offers a first glimpse of the brilliance she will bring to Opera Baltimore next season in her American professional debut.
Guests will share the table with singers, spark meaningful conversation, and enjoy a flow that balances glamour with genuine connection. Custom conversation prompts keep the mood bright, thoughtful, and full of surprise.
Seating is extremely limited for this rare and intimate fundraiser. Reserve your place and support the season ahead while savoring an evening built around voice, artistry, and the kind of Baltimore gathering that stays with you.
