The Sarasota Opera continued its Moonlight & Melodies dinner series with a close-knit fundraiser on Jan. 18.

The second dinner fundraiser brought some of the Sarasota Opera's closest supporters to the Donna Wolf Steigerwaldt Courtyard for an evening of music and mingling. 

Guests caught up and enjoyed drinks before taking their seats and hearing from Artistic Director Victor DeRenzi.

They then enjoyed performances of the composer Puccini's works from Sarasota Opera members.

The third in the series will take place March 20.
