The singers of the Collin College Opera Workshop invite the public to the college’s annual Madrigal Dinner Feast, an evening of vocal music and Renaissance dinner theatre, including a five-course meal. This family-friendly experience will take place at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 7 in the Plano Campus Living Legends Conference Center. Tickets are $36 for general admission and $22 for Collin College students, faculty, and staff.
“Collin College’s talented performers will weave a heartwarming tale of holiday cheer and revelry in honor of our beloved Queen Elisabette, alongside her collegiate singers and players,” said Casey L. Carter, discipline lead and director of Vocal and Opera Studies at the college. “This enchanting evening is not just a meal — it's a festive celebration filled with joy and community. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!”
Carter promises “laughter, beautiful music, and lively dancing, creating a truly magical atmosphere for guests of all ages.”
Guests are encouraged to immerse themselves in the festivities and wear their favorite historical period costumes, although weaponry is strongly discouraged.The five-course dinner menu features a fresh mixed greens salad and roasted fall fruits and berries, followed by a winter squash and roasted apple soup. For the main course, guests can choose between a vegetable gratin entrée or a roasted herbed chicken entrée. The grand finale of the meal is a decadent spice cake drizzled with sweet vanilla bean crème anglaise paired with steaming wassail, tea, and water.
