Deborah Voigt has been pretty busy performing the role of Brünnhilde in the Ring Cycle at the Metropolitan Opera—but that doesn’t mean she’s not interested in mixing it up! Tonight, she’s joining devotees of the Met’s Lincoln Center little sibling, the New York City Opera, in the annual tribute to the notion of having more than one opera company in a city! As she sings at the Central Park Boathouse—so nice to break out of the Lincoln Center rut; feels like we were just there last week!—guests will nosh and take gondola rides. Hopefully the waters will be less tempestuous than Wagner’s music!

Central Park Boathouse, 6:30pm cocktail reception, 7:30pm dinner and performance, 9pm dessert and dancing; call (646) 758-9460 for tickets and information.
