Opera Camerata’s 25th Anniversary Gala—and ‘Tosca’


A sold-out crowd of opera aficionados from Boston, New York and Washington celebrated Opera Camerata of Washington’s 25th anniversary Dec. 5 at the residence of Ambassador of Colombia Juan Carlos Pinzon and his wife.

The black tie evening featured a cocktail reception and elegant dinner buffet. Guests enjoyed a superb production of Puccini’s “Tosca,” featuring local singers Olga Orlovskaya in the title role and Jose Sacin, as Scarpia. An 18-piece orchestra was conducted by Peruvian Esparto Lavalle Terry, who arrived in D.C. especially for the event.

Guests included Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, Ambassador of Japan Kenichiro Sasae and his wife, Nobuko Sasae, Bishop Mario Dorsonville and Ambassador Paul Hare.
