Piazza Italia 2026 – Opera Goes to the Movies
About Piazza Italia 2026
Piazza Italia is our annual signature fundraiser — an unforgettable evening of music, food, wine, and celebration of Italian culture. Designed to support and showcase the next generation of opera singers, this festive event brings the community together for a night of meaningful connection and artistic excellence.
This year’s event was a tremendous success, featuring four exceptional young singers and a moving grand finale performed in collaboration with the Belmont University chorus. Guests enjoyed exquisite Italian cuisine, fine wines, and a lively silent auction, all while supporting the artistic journeys of rising vocal talents.
