ART AND ARIAS FEATURES HAWAI'I OPERA THEATRE STARS
AT HAWAI'I STATE ART MUSEUM FOR FIRST FRIDAY ON MARCH 7TH

Join us for Art and Arias, a special Live from the Lawn event at the Hawai'i State Art Museum for First Friday on March 7th. Art galleries are open from 5 to 9 p.m. Musical performances are from 6 to 8 p.m. The public is invited to this free event.

The program features members of the Hawai'i Opera Theatre including sopranos Mary Chesnut Hicks and Amy Healey, tenors Erik Haines and Jim Price, baritone Leslie "Buz" Tennent, and pianist Eric Schank.

In two sections, the first part of the program consists of arias and duets from some of the greatest operas ever composed. In the second portion of the program, the focus shifts to American Musical Theater with performances of some of the best-loved songs of our time.

Mary Chesnut Hicks and Amy Healey are members of Hawai'i Opera Theatre's Mae Z. Orvis Opera Studio. Jim Price, Erik Haines, and Eric Schank are on the staff of Hawai'i Opera Theatre. Buz Tennent has performed in numerous productions with Hawai'i Opera Theatre and was most recently seen in Verdi's Don Carlo and Gounod's Romeo and Juliet.

We also invite you to visit our art galleries to see the beautiful art on display in our exhibitions. In the Ewa Gallery, Enriched by Diversity: The Art of Hawai'i features artwork from the Art in Public Places Collection and the 45th Annual Hawai'i Region of the Scholastic Art Awards 2008 features award-winning artwork by students in grades 7-12. In the Diamond Head Gallery, uncommon objects features craft media by Hawai'i's premier artists.

If you're hungry, you can purchase a plate of gourmet food to go from the “ASAP Express,” the deli-style takeout counter at Downtown @ the HiSAM, the restaurant on the ground floor of the museum. Do you prefer to dine? Dinner will be served in the restaurant on a first come, first served basis.

This free event is presented by the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, the Friends of the Hawai'i State Art Museum, the Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism, and the LEF Foundation.
