When: September 26th, 2023 @ 5:30pm



Magic elixir or just the effects of wine? The Florentine Opera’s production of Elixir of Love will be set in California’s wine country. Learn more about Italian and Californian cultures of wine and how wine traditions inform opera!

About Versed
We build operas over the course of a few years! In that time, dozens of creatives work on color palettes, lighting effects, historical juxtapositions and casting. Get a peek into the production process and learn more about what makes this show magical, including historical context.

For each mainstage production, we offer two Versed experiences for the Milwaukee community (and beyond) to learn about composer histories, the first audience's response, historical contexts, culture, and the intentions behind a show.

Our Versed series takes place as an intimate gathering somewhere in Milwaukee. These are FREE and open to the public. Food and beverage will be available for purchase.


Featuring

Jake Hansen, General Manager and wine buyer for Scout Wine Merchants is excited about an opportunity to talk about his favorite thing…wine! Scout is a neighborhood wine shop, bar, and market located in the heart of Shorewood. Scout’s wine selection comes from all over the world. Jake stocks “typical” wines and also likes to include some eclectic options to push people towards more adventurous selections.
