Boheme Opera NJ will celebrate its 30th anniversary with two performances of Verdi’s “Aida” at The College of New Jersey, this Friday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m.

Joseph and Sandra Pucciatti staged their first production – a skeletal performance of “I Pagliacci” – in a Trenton parking lot, back in 1981. From this unlikely acorn sprang central New Jersey’s most enduring opera company, which gave its first main stage performance in 1989.

Opera is a colorful business. Read all about the Pucciattis’ incredible journey, from “Hey! Let’s put on a show!” to the Radamès’ triumphal march, in my article in this week’s U.S. 1 Newspaper – PrincetonInfo, out today.
