The University of Arkansas at Little Rock’s Opera Gala is set to return to the Great Hall of the Clinton Presidential Center at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 10.

The evening begins with a wine reception at 6:30 p.m. followed by dinner and performances at 7 p.m. when student performers will serenade guests with solo and ensemble numbers.

Last year’s performance of “Canti del Cuore – Songs of the Heart” ended with a rousing standing ovation from the audience.

This year audience members will be treated to numbers such as “Sing for your Supper” from The Boys from Syracuse, “Tonight” from West Side Story, and “Ain’t it a Pretty Night” from Carlisle Floyd’s Susannah.

Tickets are $75 per person. Table sponsorships are available at $1,000 for a table of 10; however, one of these seats is reserved for a student performer.

Sponsorships are also available for those who would like to sponsor a student to attend at $75 per student.

Proceeds support the vocal arts program at UALR. Presenting sponsors are Betty Richards and Colonial Wine and Spirits. Dr. Rosella Ewing, director of opera studies at UALR, produces and directs Opera Gala.

To purchase tickets or for additional information, go to ualr.at/operagala or call  501.569.3294 by March 3.
