Membership Luncheon
Membership Luncheon 2023
The Opera Guild hosted its annual Membership Luncheon on Wednesday, March 22, at Kohler Hall in Kettering. It served as a wonderful opportunity for Guild members to socialize with long-time members, new and prospective members and friends. The Guild toasted a good year and their ability to once again provide significant funds to support Dayton Opera. Guild President Margarete Jennings and Dayton Performing Arts Alliance President Patrick Nugent spoke on the transitions that will be forthcoming as these organizations approach the new season next year.
A highlight of the day was the superb entertainment with the talented Dayton Opera Artists-in-Residence presenting their vocal talents. Each sang an aria of their choice followed by a choreographed group number. John Benjamin from the University of Dayton provided the piano accompaniment.
