D and L Coffee Service Inc. presents the #1 listed “Food Radio show Philadelphia”, Small Bites with Donato Marino and Derek Timm of Bluejeanfood.com on Wildfire Radio Podcast Recording Studio this Sunday, August 25th at 635pm EST with a stellar lineup. After globetrotting for the past 3 weeks Derek finally returns to studio so we figured we’d have someone serenade him with a welcome back. Well we couldn’t think of anyone better than Opera Philadelphia to do this, and we will have Frank Luzi the Vice President of Marketing Opera Philadelphia to pick the right song to sing to Derek and also talk about Festival O19 which brings 12 days of opera to Philadelphia from September 18-29th. Opera Philadelphia is committed to embracing innovation and developing opera for the 21st century by delivering outstanding productions of traditional and new repertoire that engage our public and propel our genre forward. The third edition of its festival, O19, which comprises two world premieres, two company premieres, and a series of special presentations, events, and recitals at multiple venues across the city in September. Next, the season spotlights renowned Jack Mulroney Music Director Maestro Corrado Rovaris, who leads three productions at the The Academy of Music to mark the 20th anniversary of his company debut. As the Washington Postobserves, “Opera in Philadelphia really can claim to offer something for everyone”. They even have their own beer to celebrate the event Opera Philadelphia Ale (OPA) by Flying Fish Brewing Company. Now it sounds like a party!
