"There is nothing more spectacular than Italian music, paired with the craftsmanship of Italian couture and perfume,” says Maria Pellegrini, founder of Pellegrini Opera, “aside from our production of Madama Butterfly this September!”
The night is divided in half, beginning with an Italian segment and ending in Lebanese. After some introductions, the fragrance show will start at 7pm. The fashion show and opera will follow at 8pm, and dinner, a spectacular Mediterranean feast begins at 9. After 10pm, a classical Lebanese band takes over the stage to begin the second half of the evening.
Versace won’t be the only big name of the evening: “We’ll have incredible haute couture from Richard Robinson's Emmy's by Eiman, Cantas, and more.” explains Maria Al-Masani. “Hair and makeup for each female model will be a minimum of two hours by celebrity hair and makeup artists. It's a great way to kick off Ottawa's Italian Heritage Month, and a wonderful way to reward ourselves after voting. I encourage everyone this provincial election to vote and reward themselves with Versace!”
