Opera Quad Cities dinner and program
Opera Quad Cities will hold its inaugural gala dinner and a program by local performers including Augustana's Shelley Cooper, soprano.
The program also will feature mezzo-soprano Kelly Hill, tenor Eric Ashcraft and bass-baritone Saul Nache.
Opera Quad Cities is a nonprofit supporting opera and related programs in the community. Partners in the group are Augustana College, St. Ambrose University and Genesius Guild. Last year the group produced Mozart's “The Marriage of Figaro.”
In June, they will stage Gilbert & Sullivan's operetta “The Pirates of Penzance.”
