Maryland Opera is joined by Peter Wood from the Spirit Shop on Falls Road for an afternoon of craft cocktails. Peter will create two cocktails inspired by our November 15 production of The Merry Widow and teach you to make them at home. After that, enjoy the delicious concoctions while Peabody Professor Ernest Liotti delights you with topsy turvy highlights of Lehár’s The Merry Widow to get you in the operetta spirit! Spend a lovely Sunday afternoon sipping and discovering. You’ll even get to take the cocktail recipes home to make for your next cocktail party!
