LA DOLCE VITA: A SWEET TASTE OF SUMMER to Make Debut at The Green Room 42
Soprano Mia Farinelli, mezzo Marieke de Koker, and tenor Eric Sebek headline the Bronder Creative Productions event.
Bronder Creative Productions will present the inaugural performance of Operatini: La Dolce Vita - A Sweet Taste of Summer on Friday, June 26, 2026 at 7:00 PM at The Green Room 42 in New York City.
Created and produced by Sonia Bronder, Operatini is a new boutique opera and live music series designed to introduce audiences to opera through intimate performances, engaging storytelling, and a welcoming atmosphere that bridges the gap between traditional opera and contemporary live entertainment.
La Dolce Vita celebrates the romance, passion, humor, and beauty of summer through an evening of beloved operatic selections and timeless vocal music performed by a cast of artists in one of New York City's premier cabaret venues.
The evening will feature:
• Marieke de Koker, Mezzo-Soprano
• Mia Farinelli, Soprano
• Eric Sebek, Tenor
• Dr. Xiyu Deng, Pianist and Music Director
• Sonia Bronder, Creator and Host
Unlike a traditional opera performance, Operatini invites audiences into a more personal and immersive experience where world class vocal artistry is presented in an intimate setting that encourages connection, conversation, and discovery.
Every ticket includes the complete Puccini Experience featuring an Operatini keepsake glass, a commemorative rose presentation, a signed cast program, and an unforgettable evening of live music and storytelling.
"We created Operatini because we believe opera should feel welcoming, exciting, and accessible to everyone," said creator and producer Sonia Bronder. "This inaugural performance is about sharing extraordinary artistry in a way that invites new audiences into the experience while celebrating the timeless beauty of the music."
