Oh what a delite ..
April 11, 2023 ( 2nd Tuesday of every month) I enjoyed lunch with the YOUNG AT HEART at First Baptist Church. We were honored to have Dr. Jane Marrero Soprano accompanied by Dr. Karla Rocker pianist entertain us with lunch at the opera.
Everyone was dressed for the Opera in their best Opera attire including lots of rhinestones and a few tuxedos. We all enjoyed a delicious buffet meal and there was a variety of door prizes & great fellowship!
Jane is a graduate with a doctorate in music and vocal performance from Louisiana State University sang :
1.O mio Babbino Caro by Puccini
2.La Promessa by Rossini
Puccini and Rossini are two of the most popular operatic composers.
3. Think of Me from Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Phantom holds the record for the longest running show on Broadway
4. Can’t Help Lovin’ that Man from Show Boat by Kern and Hammerstein
5. He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands
6. Give me Jesus
These two spirituals were arranged by Moses Hogan
7. Somewhere Over the Rainbow from The Wizard of Oz by Harold Arlen

Meralyn Smith said it best, “If you were absent, unless out of necessity, you missed a marvelous event and matinee!”
