’ÄúOpera Triviata,’Äù presented several months ago by Phoenix Opera, was such a success that the company has announced a repeat event hosted by My Florist Cafˆ© with two panels of celebrity opera experts who will compete in front of a live audience in answering difficult questions on the subject. The questions will be posed by host Michael Dixon of KTAR. ’ÄúOpera Triviata’Äù will take place Sunday, December 13^th at 4 PM at My Florist Cafˆ© at the corner of 7^th Ave. and McDowell in Phoenix.

John Massaro, General Director of Phoenix Opera said, ’ÄúWe discovered last time that this type of game show atmosphere combined with a wonderful party gives opera lovers something that they cannot get anywhere else. ’ÄòOpera Triviata’Äô is just pure fun and the response by the community has been tremendous.’Äù

Admission to ’ÄúOpera Triviata’Äù is $50 per person. A special holiday menu and wine are included. A cash bar is also available.
