Bella Notte 2022

October 21, 2022

Liz & Lane Faison and Elizabeth & David Shuford, Co-chairs
Mary and Charles Bowman, Honorary Chairs
hosted by Charlotte and John Wickham

Bella Notte celebrates Charlotte as the artistic center of North Carolina, and brings together Greater Charlotte’s business, social, and philanthropic leaders for an evening of entertainment, exquisite cuisine, and dancing. Seating is limited, and reservations are best made well in advance.

Since 2004, Bella Notte has been recognized as the premier black-tie fundraising event of the social calendar. This elegant gala opens each Opera Carolina Season. Traditionally set on the beautiful Belk Theater stage in the midst of an original opera theatrical production, Bella Notte 2022 will once again be held in an open air environment, to mitigate any possible transmission of the coronavirus.

Elegance, Fine Dining by Best Impressions, Design by John Lupton Events, and Music and Dancing all for the benefit of North Carolina’s leading professional opera company, Opera Carolina.

Invitations for individual reservations will be released in the fall.

Net proceeds benefit Opera Carolina’s Education and Civic Engagement Programs
