Berkshire Opera Festival (BOF) is delighted to announce its 2025 Gala, Libiamo! This joyful celebration of music and community will honor longtime BOF supporter William E. Briggs. Inspired by the beloved chorus from Verdi’s La Traviata, Libiamo!—meaning Let’s make a toast!—promises an evening of elegance and entertainment. Guests will enjoy a lively cocktail hour, a gourmet dinner, and a silent auction, followed by an intimate performance featuring acclaimed soprano Christine Lyons and Artistic Director and Co-founder Brian Garman. The evening will culminate in an exciting live auction led by celebrated auctioneer Rachel Orkin-Ramey. All proceeds will benefit Berkshire Opera Festival’s milestone 10th Anniversary Season, including a mainstage production of La Traviata, a 10th Anniversary Concert, and year-round community outreach initiatives. Festive attire is encouraged.
