THE OPERA GALA AT TOMASELLO WINERY


Opera Gala at Tomasello Winery The Opera Gala at Tomasello Winery is held at the Winery's Vintner’s Room four times a year in February, May, October and December. In our 12th Season, these matinee’ afternoon events are a wonderful combination of wining, dining and spectacular opera. Many of our guest artists have sung all around the world , some with regional orchestras and in regional Opera Companies, some with national orchestras like the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, some in very famous opera houses: La Scala, the Met, Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center. Unlike these large halls, you will see and hear them up close as they perform assorted arias, Neapolitan songs and contempory classics.

In addition to the music, the Winery serves a four course gourmet dinner prepared by our executive chef Peter Farinella with accompanying award winning Tomasello wines. Last season’s programs are here to give you some perspective of the offerings.

The Galas all start at 2 pm and last approximately 4 hours. Cost is $65 per person inclusive of tax and gratuity. Reservations and payment (Visa, MasterCard, Amex or check) are required in advance and tickets are mailed 10 days prior to the event. Tickets are non-refundable. Please reserve at your earliest opportunity, as nearly all of the Galas sellout, by calling Mrs. Tomasello at 1-800-666-9463.
