Galas Aplenty During August


August is shaping up as a month for galas and good times.

On Saturday, Aug. 16, you’ll be able to take a trip eight miles up Otsego Lake to Havana, in the form of Hyde Hall’s third annual fundraising gala on the theme, “We’re Gonna Turn Up The Year, Cuban Style,” featuring romance, games of chance, hand-rolled cigars, ‘Floridita’ bars, “and mucho more.”
Dance from 7 to midnight to the 10-piece band of Jose Conde’s 10-piece band. For reservations, call 547-5098, or check www.hydehall.org.
Proceeds benefit the restoration of Hyde Hall, the 1817 National Historic Landmark mansion on Hyde Bay.

To warm up for that gala, you can attend “A Gala Evening at The Otesaga,” honoring the Glimmerglass Opera Guild and hosted by Otesaga General Manager John Irvin.
The evening will begin at 6 with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on the veranda, with attendees participating in a silent auction. A four-course gourmet meal, especially prepared by Executive Chef David Lockwood, will be served at 7. The opera’s Young American Artists Program will provide entertainment during dessert.
Tickets for the gala are $85 for guild members or $100 for nonmembers. Call Dennis Banks for reservations at 432-5652, or e-mail him at banksdn@oneonta.edu

Soprano Cindy Donaldson will sing popular hits at 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 3, at the Barrymore Café, part of the Cooperstown Theatre Festival on Route 80 south of Glimmerglass Opera.

The Cooperstown Chamber Music Festival has two more offerings in the next few days. The Daedalus Quartet with David Shifrin performs at at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 3, at Christ Episcopal Church/ At 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 7, a free “Flute Fest at The Otesaga” is planned.
Meanwhile, don’t forget to join The 200 Club, which is helping raise funds this year for the festival. Check Page 3 for details.
