Opera group celebrates
40 years with grand ball

Hawaii Opera Theatre celebrates its 40th anniversary with the opulent "Elegantly Off the Wall Opera Ball" Saturday at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel.

The theme is based on HOT's season opener, "The Tales of Hoffmann," running Feb. 2, 4 and 6.

The "Tales of Hoffmann" begins and ends in the fictitious Luther's Tavern where the poet Hoffmann is awaiting the arrival of his beloved Stella, and the stage is set for an evening of storytelling as Hoffmann drinks and laments over three lost loves.

To attend the ball, you'll need to have a tux or ballgown, and at least $200 for a ticket. For more information, call 596-7372 ext. 14.

HOT season subscriptions are still available at $102 to $231. Single tickets at $36 to $80 are also available by visiting the HOT box office at 985 Waimanu St. or calling 596-7858.
