Opera Night #12 was a huge night celebrating the birthdays of Angelo Servino and Conductor/Pianist Robert Ashens. Read this excerpt from the facebook page “Servino’s Opera Night”:

“…a FAB time at Servino’s! Last night was no exception, with surprise entertainers on top of the already fun time 3 sopranos: Angela Moser, Nanette McGuinness and Ryan Nelson. Ben Bongers and Jeremy Silver jumped in at just the right moments and Angelo Servino, himself, got to perform! Stay tuned each month and prepare to be overwhelmed.”
