TCO's annual Opera and Beer event returning this week
Tri-Cities Opera is once again hosting Opera and Beer.
This year's event will be held at Factory by Beer Tree in Johnson City.
Guests will be able to enjoy dinner and craft beer as they hear from high-class talent. Musical selections are from popular operas and musicals. There will be drinking songs as well.
General Director John Rozzoni says the event is perfect for people who are opera-curious because it strips away the formalities of the art, making it less intimidating.
'At TCO, we believe that opera is for everyone. I think a lot of people who are not as familiar with the art form, the entertainment form, think of a certain thing that's hundreds of years old, in a foreign language, big, extravagant. And yes, that's part of what opera is, but opera is also very much a living and breathing art form,' said Rozzoni.
Rozzoni says the show is immersive, meaning performers will be drinking and cheers-ing along with the audience.
Opera and Beer will take place on Tuesday and Thursday at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6.
Tickets are $30 and include one free drink coupon.

What do tickets cost to see ‘SNL' star Marcello Hernandez on tour?
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. Domingo isn't just popping up at weddings this year. 'Saturday Night Live' breakout star Marcello Hernandez — who you may know as the aforementioned homewrecking lothario — recently added new stand-up show dates to his 2025 tour calendar. As of now, he 15 gigs lined up all over the country including four in New York and New Jersey. Advertisement The 27-year-old comic will launch the mini pre-'SNL' season 51 trek with a pair of spots at Port Chester, NY's Capitol Theatre on Thursday, Aug. 14. Early show starts at 7 p.m. and the encore performance begins at 9:30 p.m. He'll finish the Tri-State leg of the run at Westbury, NY's Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair on Friday, Aug. 15 and Morristown, NJ's Mayo Performing Arts Center on Saturday, Aug. 16. These shows come after a huge 'SNL' season 50 for Hernandez where he played recurring characters Grant (half of the 'couple you can't believe is together'), 'Sábado Gigante' host Don Francisco, cabinet member Marco Rubio. His newfound star status has led to a bit of cultural ubiquity; Hernandez has appeared in numerous ads and nabbed a role in Adam Sandler's 'Happy Gilmore 2' and Kevin Hart's '72 Hours.' There's also an alleged Netflix special on the way as well. If you want to see him before he ascends to a Pete Davidson/John Mulaney level of fame, it isn't too late to grab tickets to his late summer 2025 shows. Advertisement At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets was $57 including fees on Vivid Seats. Other shows have tickets starting anywhere from $66 to $102 including fees. For more information, our team has everything you need to know and more about Marcello Hernandez's 2025 tour below. All prices listed above are subject to fluctuation.

Pizza Week 2025: Factory by Beer Tree
JOHNSON CITY, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – News 34 Pizza Week continues with a stop at the Oakdale Commons. Our Special Pizza Correspondent, Mike Tanzini, shows us how Factory by Beer Tree is brewing up the perfect pizza to partner with its craft beer. Shake, Shimmy, Pivot, Turn. Are these dance moves? Not quite. These are the moves you need to master if you're going to be a successful pizza maker at Factory by Beer Tree Brew, an anchor tenant located at the ever-improving Oakdale Commons. Known for its good vibes and wide selection of cold, crisp craft beer, Factory also offers both traditional and non-traditional pizza pies to keep people coming back. Server and Bartender Jackie Ryder says their location is always booming with new customers. 'It's brought in a lot of people as well. The new Dave and Busters is bringing in a lot of people from out of town. They don't have a whole lot of craft beer, so we have the craft beer that brings people in,' said Ryder. Those pizza patrons keep coming back once they've had a chance to try a Factory Pie – a recipe that prides itself on simplicity, quality, and flavor. The dough is a hybrid of a Neapolitan-style and a semolina dough. 'Both of those doughs are high in protein and gluten, which makes for an airier, softer, chewier, but crisp pizza crust on the outside as well,' said Pizza Maker Nick Aiken. The dough is lightly coated in flour on both sides, and all of the air is pressed out of it which is critical for even cooking. 'You want to push out any air bubbles you might feel because you want to eliminate as many air sockets as you possibly can, so once it's going into the oven, it's an even cook,' said Aiken. Nick also shows me the proper way to spread and expand the dough. 'This is my dominant hand so I want to move this.' 'It's repetition and muscle memory. You'll get a feel for it,' said Aiken. This prevents holes from forming, a lesson that I could've used earlier this week! It's a good way to keep from tearing or ripping or creating too much pressure to make this side of the pizza a little thinner. This helps with the balance and even cooking along with the integrity of the dough. I hate to say it, but we learned that through experience this week. Now, the moment of truth – can we transfer the dough onto the peel without ripping it? 'This is kind of like putting the baby to bed – nice and gentle – no tears.' Now it's time to lay on the sauce – no fancy gimmicks or tricks – just simple, quality, fresh ingredients. 'What we like to say is that simplicity is king. We let the ingredients, the dough, and cheese itself do a lot of the talking. This is really simple. We have a tomato and a roasted garlic base, and we add herbs and spices just to bring it to life a little bit, but that's as much as I can tell you,' said Aiken. Nick applies the sauce using a cross pattern, which is a first for News 34 Pizza Week! 'The cross method. I don't think I've ever seen that before.' 'That's something you just learn through the trade. Some people make a spiral, some make a cross, and that helps cover the surface area so all of the parts touch that sauce instead of starting at one end and trying to disperse it throughout the rest of the pizza. You end up running out of sauce at the end, and it helps provide an event coat,' said Aikan. The toppings are applied underneath the cheese which creates a unique flavor combination that complements and melds all of the ingredients together for that perfect bite. And don't think that they're just tossing down toppings willy-nilly. Nick wants each customer to have a consistent experience, so you'd better count your pepperoni. 'I don't want a single pepperoni under 23 or 24,' said Aikan. 'I think we're at like 22 and a half. I'm just trying to get creative here. Here's a half and three-quarters, and we're around the magic number. You can't take that out of Jim's pay. Sorry, Jim – the pizza business is tough.' We top the pies with a special trifecta of mozzarella, provolone, and cheddar cheeses, and we carefully place them into the 600-to-800-degree wood fire oven. We shimmy, shimmy, shake it in, and then swing and pivot when it's taken out,' said Aiken. 'Ok, now pivot and turn. The pivot is key.' Even with two left feet, I managed to land the pie safely on the dance floor. Time to celebrate our masterpiece and take a bit with my new Factory friends. 'Here we go, one bite, everyone knows the rules.' Cheers! You can watch Pizza Week episodes and vote in our favorite pizza poll here.
