We are saddened to hear about the passing of long-time collaborator Alan Davitte.

Alan participated in numerous productions during his time with Capitol City Opera helping hold down our bass sections. Backstage, Alan was always incredibly helpful in helping build and prep the sets for our mainstage productions.

Please enjoy a few production photos including Alan. He will be sorely missed and our thoughts are with his family at this time.

Thank you to our Dinner and a Diva sponsors, Ron and Laura, and our hosts, Petite Violette for a phenomenal performance of Roberto Devereux. Our exceptional cast included Emily Adams, Madison Chambers, Michael O'Hearn, and Daniel Weisman with Catherine Giel as our Pianist and music director.
