Cincinnati Opera kicked off its 99th season in style with the Cabaret Fantastico gala on the stage of Music Hall.
Co-chairs Candace Cioffi and Barbara Hahn organized the cabaret dinner with featured performances by soprano Nicole Cabell and baritone Hadleigh Adams.
The vocalists took a break from preparing for Cincinnati Opera’s production of Gounod’s “Romeo and Juliet” to serenade guests with opera and musical theater songs, arias and duets, accompanied by Matthew Umphreys.
