Washington Concert Opera presents an elegant Opera Soirée & Gala at La Maison Française, featuring internationally acclaimed soprano Ailyn Pérez. This distinguished evening celebrates artistic excellence through a carefully curated program that includes a welcome cocktail reception, live concert performance, seated dinner, and silent auction.
The event takes place in an elegant setting where black-tie attire is optional, creating a sophisticated yet accessible atmosphere for opera enthusiasts. Proceeds from ticket sales, sponsorships, and the silent auction directly support Washington Concert Opera's artistic productions, community outreach initiatives, and educational programming.
