The Golden Era of Puccini comes to Marco Island. The most beloved opera composer of his time, Puccini changed the art form by trading myth for real lives, real heartbreak, and music that has never stopped being sung. From Madama Butterfly and La Bohème to Tosca and Turandot, his arias are the ones audiences still arrive humming a century later — and tonight, they fill the Gulfview Room at Hideaway Beach Club.Â
The evening begins at 5:00 PM with an Italian-inspired jewelry collection experience by Deborah Gaspar, customized to reflect the beauty of Puccini. At 5:30 PM, guests are welcomed with a Puccini cocktail. Dinner follows at 6:00 PM, curated by Chef Tim in tribute to the cuisine of Tuscany — the region Puccini called home — and accompanied by complimentary wine pairings. Gulfshore Opera’s world-class artists take over the room with a selection of the composer’s most beloved melodies. An elegant, intimate evening with the master who taught opera how to feel.
