‘Grand Opera’ at the Indonesian Embassy

Michael J. Reilly attracted a sellout crowd to the Indonesian Embassy as Ambassador Budi Bowoleksono and Mrs. Reshanty Bowoleksono welcomed guests to a Holiday Gala of Grand Opera presented by the Washington Opera Society Dec. 9.  Guests enjoyed hors d’oeuvres before hearing selections from “La Fille du Regiment,” “Un Ballo in Maschera and “Il Trovatore.”  The program ended with guests joining in to sing “Angels We Have Heard On High,” before enjoying a sumptuous Indonesian buffet.  In addition to producing grand opera in elegant settings, Reilly looks forward to offering small scholarships to aspiring voice students.
