Gorgeously Gothic Sweeney Todd Opera Ball

Hawaii Opera Theatre’s (HOT) 2014 “Gorgeously Gothic” Opera Ball will be held Saturday, November 8, 2014 at The Modern Honolulu.  This black-tie evening will celebrate HOT’s 2014-2015 season finale, Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd, and will be based on Victorian themes of the day with food, entertainment and surprises galore!  The event begins at 6:00 p.m. and will continue through 11:30 p.m.  Along with a specially designed dinner, there will be the usual outstanding entertainment and of course dancing.  The Opera Ball is greatly appreciated for its live entertainment featuring performances by Hawaii Opera Theatre artists, including its Mae Z. Orvis Opera Studio singers, both adult and youth.

Supporting the Opera Ball, HOT’s principal annual fundraiser, allows Hawaii’s only opera company to continue to serve the Hawaii community by consistently offering unique, high-quality, artistic experiences, along with excellent educational and outreach programs that enrich the State.  This support also enables HOT to continue functioning in a sound, fiscally responsible manner, thus ensuring sustainable future success. HOT is internationally known, now featuring four full-scale opera productions with an expected attendance of over 18,000 patrons and a subscriber renewal rate of 95%.  HOT’s education and outreach programs reach 25,000 students, and their teachers and families, statewide.

Tables are available for $15,000, $10,000, $7,500, $5,000 and $3,500 (see benefits below).  Individual tickets may be purchased for $350, based on availability, after September 1, 2014.  Call Renson Madarang at (808) 596-7372 ext. 203 or email:  r_madarang@hawaiiopera.org
