presents PROGRAM AND AUCTION CATALOGUE Saturday, November 14, 2015 Sheraton Waikiki OB2015Program_.indd 1 10/29/15 7:49 PM WELCOME Aloha and welcome to the 2015 Opera Ball – we are delighted to be back at the Sheraton Waikiki! We are so glad that you will be attending and are very grateful for your support. Please help us to continue to bring the finest quality opera to Hawaii by supporting our Silent Auction – the more you bid the better it gets! And don’t forget our drawing for the beautiful Aster Diamond necklace by Maria Canale. Thanks to a generous matching gift from Jim and Lynn Lally you will have an opportunity to help support our award-winning education programs, giving more children the chance to learn about and enjoy the magical world of Opera! We hope that you were able to join us for Mozart’s The Magic Flute last month. We were very proud of this beautiful production from Met Opera Director, Daniel Rigazzi. And please join us for our remaining productions of the Season: Benjamin Britten’s delightful A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which will be featured in the evening’s program, and Verdi’s popular masterpiece Il Trovatore. Also, in June, we will be bringing back Hawaii’s own Quinn Kelsey to star in a concert performance of Rigoletto – a role he has made his own in recent years. The Opera Ball would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of many people. Thank you to our wonderful Opera Ball Committee, and to our incomparable Chairs, Cherye Pierce and Cheryl Hetherington for making this year’s Opera Ball such a stunning success. Thank you too, to our table hosts, our underwriters, donors and contributors, and to you all for being here! Please enjoy the party!

Opera Ball 2015: Menu OB2015Program_.indd 7 7 10/29/15 7:49 PM ENTERTAINMENT Shakespeare’s beloved play takes on a new life in Benjamin Britten’s beautiful A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It portrays the adventures of four young lovers and a group of amateur actors, their interactions with woodland fairies and a duke and duchess. Taking place in a mythical Athens and an enchanted forest, there is a handsome fairy king, a bewitched queen, star-crossed lovers, a weaver who is transformed into a half-donkey, wood sprites, and elves. This work is widely performed around the world, and no wonder—it’s about the world’s most popular pastime: falling in love. But as Puck knows, falling in love can make fools of us all.
