All proceeds from the event/fundraiser will support the company’s June production of Franz Lehár's "The Merry Widow."
The event will celebrate the life and careers of Eggerth and her husband, Jan Kiepura. Together, the couple appeared in more than 2,000 performances of "The Merry Widow"—Eggerth portraying Hanna, the wealthy widow, and Kiepura singing the role of her suitor, Count Danilo.
The presentation will consist of discussion, video clips and photos as told by Marjan Kiepura and Jane Knox, son and daughter-in-law of Eggerth and Kiepura. Additionally, a short concert of selections from the operetta will feature cast members from the company’s upcoming production.
The program will begin at 3:00 p.m. All tickets are $40, and include a coffee and dessert reception following the presentation.
