On November 15th, 2011, The Opera Society was honored by Classical South Florida’s Sanford L. Ziff Family Foundation for Outstanding Contributions to the Arts. The award ceremony was held at the historic Biltmore Hotel of Miami where a beautiful golden plaque was presented to immediate past President, Gloria Kline, and current President, Kim Naimoli.
Guests were entertained by the very talented Michael James Battle, a 24-year old who has lived his life behind a piano! Michael won the hearts of everyone present when he played the song he wrote for his late mother, who died after a long battle with cancer.

On October 13, 2011, as a new member of the Opera Society, I was honored to attend to the Fall Membership Luncheon at the beautiful residence of Barbara Copanos in Sea Ranch Lakes.
The house is a lovely cool counterpoint to the fabulous lush gardens it’s set in. Barbara was at the door with others to graciously welcome all to her home with a cup of delicious champagne punch before entering into her living room where Ann Rentoumis played piano favorites on Barbara’s beautiful grand piano.
It is truly a selfless gesture when you understand it is the 18th consecutive year that Barbara has hosted this luncheon. Everything was delicious including the delicate chicken salad, which I understand she prepared herself along with the rest of the gourmet lunch.
