Every-bocce loves opera – right?! On Sunday, August 28, Flipside Opera & Art Song Collective hosts their 2022 fundraiser: an afternoon of Italian opera, combined with a bocce ball tournament – la dolce vita! Bocce ball aficionados and first-timers alike will enjoy competing for prizes from local arts organizations and Little Brown Jug Brewing Company. Those who prefer the sidelines can watch the action from Norwood Community Centre’s large deck while being serenaded by Italian art song and arias throughout the afternoon. The event will also include a 50/50 draw, cash bar, and summer afternoon social time with old and new friends. Music will be provided by the 2015-2020 winners of Flipside’s fundraiser competition, Opera Idol. Tenor Aaron Hutton, sopranos Ana Toumine, Jessica Kos-Whicher, and Ashley Rees, and mezzo-soprano Lizzy Hoyt will be joined by collaborative pianist Deena Grier in performing classics and hidden gems of Italian opera. Bocce player, spectator, and supporter (non-attending) tickets are available. All are welcome!
