Vallejo/Empress Gala Fundraiser
Public (Paid, $100)
Join us for an incredible and elegant evening where once again we are guests of Dennis Brinson and his fantastic Loft 447 Georgia St. in historic downtown Vallejo. This event sold out last year in another memorable evening that included a remarkable and unique live auction. This is the event to pull out the long evening gown with all the trimmings and for him to wear the tux that was cleaned after New Year's Eve! This is the Empress's final 100th anniversary celebration event, and it will surely be the talk of the next 100 years.
Featuring coloratura soprano Marta Johansen, tenor Michel Taddei, and a quintet of SFCO all-stars, performing operatic arias and a string sonata by Rossini.
