Capitol City Opera to Host Annual Fundraiser ON THE LIGHT SIDE, 7/30

Capitol City Opera, a company dedicated to supporting and promoting local talent, will be holding its annual fundraiser, On the Light Side, on Friday, July 29 and Saturday, July 30, 2016 at the Church of the Atonement in Sandy Springs. Doors open for a silent auction and "indoor picnic" at 6:30 p.m. The performance begins at 8:00 p.m.

Individual tickets are $40. Tables of 8 are $300. Tickets are available at CCITYOPERA.org.

This year's On the Light Side features 13 singers performing works by American lyricist and composer Stephen Sondheim. Sondheim has been a staple of American music theater since the 1950s. His career spans 60 years of music for stage, film, and television. Singers will perform selections from Company, Sweeney Todd, A Little Night Music, West Side Story, and Into the Woods, among others.

The public is invited to bring an "indoor picnic" dinner (don't forget the wine!), and enjoy a summer evening in the casual, air-conditioned indoors.

There will also be a silent auction with hundreds of items from housewares and event tickets, to a Tuscan vacation. A complete list of these items is available online at CCITYOPERA.org..
