La Bella Notte 2016: RHINESTONE REGALE

Since 1995, the Nashville Opera Guild has raised money to support opera education in schools, and has served over 600,000 students since the program began! La Bella Notte, the annual black-tie fundraiser and auction serves to let our community know about the importance of keeping opera and music education in the classroom and is our primary fundraiser to ensure that each year we can reach 25,000 children in over 20 counties in Middle Tennessee!

Nashville Opera believes opera is for everyone. Every day, we teach, create and perform opera for the citizens of the Nashville region because opera connects our evolving and diverse community through the universal experience of the human voice. We produce an annual educational tour production which goes into schools in a 20 county region in Middle Tennessee. Since 1995, over 600,000 students have benefited from opera in their classrooms! We exist because of generous contributions from donors like you. Be a part of Nashville Opera's legacy of service with your gift.

Love. Heartache. The perfection of revenge...Our stories are the same. We just tell them differently. Porter Wagoner could spin a tale in three minutes; Tosca, three hours. But we both bare our souls and in the flash of RHINESTONE!

LA BELLA NOTTE 2016 mingles Music City's two most dramatic forces, country music and the opera, in a surprising night of dining and song for Nashville Opera education and outreach.

Guests will enjoy a gourmet meal, specially selected wines and, between courses, a serenade of arias and musical favorites starring Gary Morris.
