Ars Lyrica Houston Hosts a Roman Feast Gala Image

Ars Lyrica Houston's A Roman Feast gala will take place on Saturday, March 3, 2018 in the historic Esperson building in downtown Houston. The glamorous evening will begin with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres at the contemporary Rusk Lobby, followed by an intimate performance of arias by rising opera countertenor, Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen accompanied by Matthew Dirst on the harpsichord. The Feast will be served in the Art Deco Mellie Lobby with all things Roman themed and catered by Morton's Steakhouse. The night will conclude in the Rusk Lobby with an Italian Disco after party including dancing and drinks.

Proceeds from this gala will support the 2018/19 Ars Lyrica Houston production of Handel's first operatic masterpiece, Agrippina. Since incorporation in 2003, Ars Lyrica has given the local premieres of many major works by Handel, including La Resurezzione, Susanna, Il Trionfo del Tempo, and Jephtha. Its production of Agrippina will be the organization's first full-length operatic endeavor and its most ambitious Handelian project to-date.
