Sparkling Serenades

Step into an evening of refined beauty and musical brilliance as Opera Kelowna presents Sparkling Serenades, a lakefront concert experience like no other.

Set against the backdrop of Okanagan Lake at sunset, this open-air performance features a trio of celebrated vocalists accompanied by a string quartet, under the direction of Artistic Director Rosemary Thomson. From sweeping operatic arias to beloved musical theatre gems, each note promises to enchant.

Guests will be welcomed with a complimentary sparkling beverage upon arrival, with a cash bar available prior to the performance. Seating is arranged on the elegant Waterfront Ballroom patio—an intimate, scenic setting for a night of song under the open sky.
