"Cocktails for a Cause", Sept. 12, 5:00 - 8:00pm at Trio Restaurant in the Downtown Market. Support Opera Roanoke while attending this fun event. It should be one of the best they've had, with the full cast from Hansel & Gretel attending and most staying for dinner. These are world class stars with impressive resumes. There should be some singing during the evening. Here's an opportunity to help support Opera Roanoke.
