The newly formed Washington Opera Society celebrated the holidays Dec. 11 at the Q St. Fine Art Gallery. The group’s executive director Michael J. Reilly spoke of the mission of programming older show music, operetta and lesser known opera as well as bringing students the magic of classical music. Between hors d’oeuvres and dinner Scott Beard conducted a program of holiday music and operatic favorites sung by Nicole Butler, Jesús Daniel Hernández, Kwangkyu Lee, Narda Munoz and Dariusz Ocetek. The 2016 season will showcase Gounod’s “Romeo et Juliette” and an evening of opera and Latin dancing under the stars.
