Now That's What I Call Opera: The Greatest Hits
Thursday, April 23, 7:00 p.m.

We all have seen that pizza commercial or random dramatic movie scene with a famous operatic piece playing in the background. But what is that song really about? What is it even called? Opera on Tap Fort Wayne is thrilled to partner with Hop River Brewing Company for our April show! We will sing some of the most famous numbers from the operatic/classical world in this concert of favorites. Grab a drink and sit back as we dedicate the evening to keeping these songs in your head for days to come.
