Spend an afternoon with the cast & artistic team of Piazzolla & Ferrer’s Maria de Buenos Aires for a behind the scenes look at the production and at the TV Studio in Alaska Public Media’s Broadcast Center.

Enjoy bistro-style seating and delectable catered fare & beverages (before, during and after) a concert and an up-close & personal panel discussion with the stars. Learn about their lives and career paths which led them to Anchorage Opera. Discover interesting tidbits about Maria de Buenos Aires, its plot, history and thrill to excerpts from the production performed by the cast. Q & A from the audience and more interactive fun at this all-new series of events from Anchorage Opera.

A reception afterwards in the studio with a complete buffet of food and drink is your chance to mix & mingle with the cast one-on-one! This event is an all-new take on previous seasons’ “Lunch with the Stars” (which will no longer be offered in 2015-16). By partnering with Alaska Public Media we’re able to bring you a fresh updated way to meet & mingle with the Stars. We’ve lowered the ticket price too, so please come join us for all the fun!

And when you “Sponsor an Artist” you cover the costs of their reception fare and receive special recognition from Anchorage Opera and the Artist personally. BRAVO!
