Excerpts to be peformed fromthe famous opera by Giuseppe Verdi.  The title “La Traviata” means literally The Fallen Woman, or perhaps more figuratively, The Woman Who Goes Astray.

John Michael Montgomery – 8 p.m., September 17, 2011
Since the days when “Life’s A Dance” turned him from an unknown artist into a national star, John Michael’s rich baritone has carried that most important of assets–believability. Few artists in any genre sing with more heart than this handsome Kentucky-born artist.  Tickets: $30-60. 

Best of the NW Gala – 7 p.m., September 23, 2011
The Centrum Arts League will present the Best of the Northwest Gala, “Rope the Moon”, honoring Susan & David Diehl at 7 p.m. on Friday, September 23 at Champions Golf Club.  Gala attendees will enjoy a delicious sit-down dinner, silent & live auctions, and entertainment.  All proceeds raised support Cypress Creek FACE.
