Dinner and a Diva: Adriana Lecouvreur

Description

Every third Tuesday (and some third Thursdays) of the month, we host Dinner and a Diva.

Each event features live entertainment consisting of selections from a famous opera performed by the Capitol City Opera Company’s singers.

In addition to an evening of music, you’ll enjoy a gourmet four-course dinner with wine, leaving you with an evening to remember.

Your dinner will include a sampling of premium hors d’ oeuvres, fresh salad, choice of two gourmet entrees, decadent dessert, hot coffee/tea, and two glasses of fine wine, all for only $75 per person (plus tax and gratuity).

Hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar open at 6:15 p.m., and the dinner and show start promptly at 7:00 p.m. Make reservations on our home page.

“Actress Adrienne Lecouvreur may be admired and loved by many, but she only has eyes for one: Maurizio, the Count of Saxony, to whom she gifts a bouquet of violets to show her love before going on stage. Maurizio, however, is also having an affair with the Princess de Bouillon, which he tries to break off in order to be with Adrienne.

The two women soon become mutually suspicious, realizing the other to be in love with Maurizio as well. Feelings of jealousy and anger build up until a ferocious confrontation breaks out between them. Believing Maurizio to be lost to her, a distraught Adrienne refuses to go back on stage and declines to celebrate her name day with her theatre troupe. In her solitude, is Adrienne now most vulnerable to an attack fueled by the Princess’ malice? Or might Maurizio show up to save the day?”
