Opera and Beer Come Together in Knoxville

The Knoxville Opera has come up with an interesting way to celebrate its 30th anniversary and perhaps draw in a few new fans. On Oct. 5th the company will feature highlights from Sigmund Romberg’s operetta “The Student Prince” served up with a German buffet and unlimited beer and wine.

The Oktoberfest themed event will include the “Drinking Song” and “Overhead the Moon is Beaming” with a cast that features tenor Ta’u Pupu’a, a former National Football League player with the Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Ravens.

We are not sure if the all-the-beer-you-can-drink promotion with spread to other operas or symphony orchestras, but we can hope.
