Is there a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than communing with nature while thrilling to the music of Puccini, Bizet, Verdi, and Mozart? Based on the success of past Opera in the Park events in Orinda, the answer would be a resounding no.
Now in its fifth year, the popular Orinda Rotary-sponsored event will be held July 28 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Orinda Community Center Park, 28 Orinda Way - near ample free parking and within walking distance of the Orinda BART station. The venue is not only beautiful, it's accessible for individuals with disabilities.
The free concert, which also receives support from the Orinda Parks and Recreation Foundation and the Orinda Community Center Auxiliary, is expected to attract music lovers of all ages, ranging from families with young children to the most in-the-know of San Francisco Bay Area opera buffs. Principal artists from Opera San Jose will join graduates of the San Francisco Opera's apprenticeship program and members of the San Francisco Opera Chorus in performing a program of favorite arias and musical theater classics.
Food and beverages will be available, making the event a can't-miss feast for the senses.
