The Boheme Opera NJ Guild presents “Some Enchanted Evening – Special Gems from Opera & Broadway” at Hopewell Valley Vineyards, 46 Yard Road, Pennington NJ, 08534 at 5:30 pm on Sunday, June 11, 2023.

Baritone Charles Schneider and soprano Samantha Blossey, with Sandra Milstein Pucciatti at the piano, will beguile and delight guests with charming gems from Opera and Broadway.  Joseph Pucciatti, Artistic Director of Boheme Opera NJ, will give a special introduction.  Appetizers and pizza will be provided.  Hopewell Valley Vineyard’s award-winning wines will be available for purchase by the glass or bottle, and non-alcoholic beverages will also be available.

Baritone Charles Schneider has performed over 30 roles throughout the country, including The Bonze in Boheme Opera NJ’s 2023 production of Madama Butterfly.  He enjoys a thriving teaching schedule, is on the voice faculties of Westminster School of the Arts at Rider University and The Lawrenceville School, and conducts the Liberty Corner Presbyterian Church Choir.  Soprano Samantha Blossey has performed in over two dozen roles from both opera and musical theater throughout North America and Europe.  She was recently the featured soloist with the Society of Musical Arts and will be the soprano soloist in the Dvorak Stabat Mater with the Steeple Concert Series. You can catch her several nights a year as an anthem singer for the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center.  Pianist Sandra Milstein Pucciatti studied piano with the Curtis Institute teachers and German master teacher Karl Ulrich Schnabel.  Her career as a concert performer and professional accompanist has featured a broad repertoire of instrumental and vocal genres.  In 1989 Sandra co-founded Boheme Opera NJ, for which she has been Managing Director since 1997.  She is also the principal pianist for Boheme Opera’s active outreach programming.
