Join us for Auction of Arias, a sparkling evening of fine dining, spirited bidding, and unforgettable music. Start the night with appetizers and wine before sitting down to an elegant dinner, then experience the thrill of our live auction where you decide what gets sung.
You’ll have a list of songs and arias chosen by the cast of Abduction—not just opera, but maybe also musical theater, jazz, and other selections. Bid against fellow patrons to hear your selection performed first, and enjoy each piece knowing it reflects the passions of the artists themselves.
