Pasta & Puccini

Join Hopewell Festival for Pasta and Puccini, an intimate evening of pasta, wine, and some of Giacomo Puccini’s most beloved music at Hopewell Valley Vineyards, featuring selections from La Bohème, Tosca, Madama Butterfly, Turandot, and more.

The evening will feature Academy of Vocal Arts resident artists Daniela Machado (soprano) and Matthew Sink (tenor), as well as pianist Luke Housner.

Pasta and Puccini is the first installment of Hopewell Festival’s Dinner & Opera Series, a collection of intimate musical evenings leading up to the Festival’s August 2027 season. Because seating for these evenings is limited, advance ticket purchase is encouraged.
