For some, opera is out of reach. For most, a cocktail is not.
The St. Petersburg Opera Company wants to use the latter to assist in your understanding of the former when it stages a 90-minute Cocktails With Maestro program in the Iberian Rooster basement. There’ll be live performances by singers and instrumentalists, and maestro Mark Sforzini promises to deliver witty and insightful explorations of plot, character and musical devices to help you get acquainted with the art form.
Thurs. March 21, SubCentral at Iberian Rooster, 475 Central Ave. N., St. Petersburg. 6 p.m. stpeteopera.com.
