Sparkle. Play. Give.
Jukebox Gala
Dinner and a sparkling show.
Jukebox Gala is Pensacola Opera’s most glamorous night of the season and after 22 years, it just keeps getting better. Dress up, gather your favorite people, and settle in for a gourmet four-course dinner while world-class opera singers perform table-side, close enough to feel the music in your chest, feel the drama in the room, and dance alongside your favorite tune.
Throughout the evening, guests bid to claim individual performances with each song performed table-side by one of our artists. Win the bid, and that electric moment is yours. The energy in the room builds course by course as the competition heats up and the music keeps coming. For the truly ambitious, a few coveted spots let the highest bidder choose the song to be performed.
It’s an evening people talk about all season long. Come dressed to impress and ready to play.

The Talent
There are very few evenings where you’ll find yourself in the same room as ten or more world-class professional opera singers performing opera’s greatest moments just feet from your table. Jukebox Gala is one of them. From soaring tenor showstoppers like Nessun Dorma to the breathtaking intimacy of the Lakme’s Flower Duet, to beloved musical theatre moments that stop the room, the performances are the real deal–a living, breathing evening of extraordinary talent. The night also marks the debut of our incoming Jan Miller Studio Artists, the next generation of professional opera singers who call Pensacola home for the season, joined by guest professionals, many of them familiar faces who have graced our stage before. It’s a reunion, a debut, and a celebration all at once, and the energy in that room is something you simply can’t replicate.
