Pensacola Opera teams up with Jackson's Steakhouse
for Dinner and an Aria

For the fourth consecutive year, Jackson's is proud to partner once again with the Pensacola Opera to present "Dinner and an Aria" on Thursday, February 23, at Jackson's Steakhouse.

The Pensacola Opera's Artists in Residence program, now in its ninth season, continues to provide training and performance experience for young opera professionals. In residence here in Pensacola, from January through May, these artists perform roles on the main stage, cover principal roles, sing for numerous educational and community outreach programs - and perform at Jackson's!

This is a wonderful opportunity that offers opera to newcomers and enthusiasts alike to have an up-close, personal performance by some remarkable young opera singers. The 2011-2012 Artists in Residence artists are Jennifer Hendrickson (soprano), Samantha Korbey (mezzo-soprano), Joseph Shadday (tenor) and Mitchell Hutchings (baritone) with Dana Sadava accompanying on the piano.

There will be two seatings for this event; 5:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. In addition to our full dinner menu, which will be available for the evening, Chef Miller has prepared a special-feature entrée: double cut Berkshire pork chop with Serrano pepper and apricot glaze, Sicilian-style collard greens and Gorgonzola whipped potatoes. The featured artists will perform classics from the operatic, musical theatre and jazz standard repertoire.

This is a limited-seating event (which was a sell-out crowd for the past three years). Opera is a great party - a visual and emotional spectacle that electrifies all the senses - so to reserve your table, please call Jackson's Steakhouse, (850) 469-9898.
