Friday, May 5, 2006 / 7:00 p.m., Grand Lobby at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Plaza, Hosted by the Toledo Opera Primo Divos, An Evening of Fine Wine and Entertainment to Benefit Toledo Opera

(Toledo, Ohio, April 10, 2006) – Dust off your dancing shoes while we strike up the band! Get ready to board the Toledo Opera Express for its fifth annual Blame the Champagne! fundraising event on Friday, May 5, 2006 at 7:00 p.m. This year’s event will be held in the Grand Lobby at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Plaza located at 415 Emerald Avenue in downtown Toledo. The historic venue, once Ohio’s busiest passenger rail hub, is maintained in the original artistic splendor that decorated it when it was built at the height of train travel.

Attendees will enjoy a tantalizing evening of wine and cheese sampling and socializing, dining car grazing, big band dancing to a 17-piece orchestra and lots of excitement. The evening will also include a silent and live auction with items that focus on rare and vintage bottles of wine, trips to local and distant vineyards, gourmet food baskets and other fanciful surprises. A cash bar will be available.

Tickets are available beginning at $75 per person by calling the Toledo Opera office at (419) 255-SING (7464). The Toledo Opera Primo Divos, a volunteer member club dedicated to celebrating Toledo Opera productions through a variety of social and educational events, will be hosting this event. All proceeds benefit Toledo Opera. For more information, contact Renay Conlin at 419-255-7464 or visit www.toledoopera.org for updates.
