Winos and opera fans alike are invited to Greenacres Arts Center for an evening of food, cocktails and music. The Cincinnati Opera will be performing the Bizet classic Carmen, with a modern twist — Carmen Redux is set in modern times, the story of a beautiful, zealous woman who becomes the object of one man’s affection, which ultimately leads to a tragedy. Attendees will be treated to cocktail hour and hors d’oeuvres before the performance and then a Spanish-style buffet following the performance.
6:30-11 p.m. Saturday. $70. Greenacres Arts Center, 8400 Blome Road, Indian Hill, 513-793-2787, green-acres.org.
