Event Description
The International Club of DC and the Russian Chamber Art Society cordially requests the pleasure of your company at the Embassy of France for a delightful evening of classical opera music. The concert is followed by a dinner buffet reception with deserts and an open wine bar. The dinner buffet will be presented following the concert as a stand-up reception with limited seating.
The event is a fundraiser for the Russian Chamber Art Society, celebrating the opening of its 11th season, with a magical Gala concert of excerpts from the opera "Eugene Onegin." Enjoy the artistry of these performers in Tchaikovsky's most celebrated opera amid the delightful surroundings of the French Embassy.
The concert will include the most popular arias from Tchaikovsky's famous opera "Eugene Onegin," which brings to life the immortal love story written by the beloved Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. The opera excerpts feature four great singers and selections from the original text will be read in English by prominent Washington, DC actor, Rick Foucheux.
You are welcome to attend on your own or with friends. General admission tickets for the fundraiser concert are $150 which includes a buffet dinner, dessert, and an open wine bar.
The fine Russian restaurant, Mari Vanna, will create the desserts, including the delicious "Onegin" cake." VIP tickets are $190 and includes all of the above as well as a wonderful pre-concert champagne reception until 7:30 PM.
Please reserve your tickets early as space is limited and our previous classical concert at the Austrian Embassy sold out in advance.
