The Indianapolis Opera will hold its annual Opera Cabaret event at Union 50 on Wednesday, October 9th from 6 p.m. This cabaret offers a unique fusion of opera, musicals and jazz by artists such as Pavel Polanco Safadit and Leah. crane. “It’s a great entry point for music lovers and food lovers,” said soprano Rachel Purvis. The evening will feature a three-course meal paired with live performances, making it a fully immersive cultural experience.
Indianapolis Opera has been part of the city’s arts community for 50 years, and its goal is to make opera accessible to everyone. “We try to engage with communities across the city,” explains tenor Gavin Hughes, adding that the opera company has a variety of locations including the Carmel Palladium, Tobey at Newfields, and even the Indianapolis Zoo. He added that he was performing at the venue. This year’s cabaret will feature a variety of musical styles, including Latin jazz, to appeal to a wider audience. “We try to cater to all of our audiences,” Hughes said.
Opera Cabaret costs $170, including dinner and performance. “We’re excited about this show,” Purvis said, noting that the event will allow attendees to experience a variety of musical styles in one night. The multi-genre cabaret format provides a more casual and interactive setting than a traditional opera show, making it an ideal introduction to opera for new audiences.
