SONGS IN SUMMER August 6 :: Hixon Home :: Fort Collins A picturesque Colorado summer evening against a backdrop of art and sculpture gardens provided music enthusiasts a prime setting for the Opera Fort Collins Guild soiree event. Scrumptious hors d’oeuvres paired with fine wines and beer greeted mingling guests before the musical performances of Classical opera arias, art songs and show tunes at dusk. Proceeds raised from the evening fundraiser will benefit Opera Fort Collins’ Season 36. Photos courtesy of Two C’s Photography.
