Jukebox Gala is Pensacola Opera’s most glamorous night of the season!

Dress up, gather your favorite people, and settle in for a gourmet four-course dinner while world-class opera singers perform table-side, close enough to feel the music in your chest, feel the drama in the room, and enjoy your favorite opera and musical theatre hits.

Throughout the evening, guests bid to claim individual performances with each song performed table-side by one of our artists. Win the bid, and that electric moment is yours. The energy in the room builds course by course as the competition heats up and the music keeps coming. Don’t miss a sparkling evening of fine singing, fine dining, and fine giving.

Jukebox Gala September 19, 2026 Hilton Pensacola Beach
