ASTORIA — The Cascadia Chamber Opera will hold a 3 p.m. Saturday fundraising dinner at Fulio’s as part of its summer opera festival.

Guests will be served dinner and dessert, accompanied by live arias, duets and trios, and hear from organizers about festival plans in August.

Those include fully-staged productions of Gaetano Donizetti’s “Elixir of Love,” Susan Kander and Roberta Gumbel’s “DWB (Driving While Black)” and Ashley Hastings’ “When Dragons Come to Play,” all performed in English at the Charlene Larsen Center for the Performing Arts.

Tickets for the fundraising dinner are $100, seats must be reserved by Friday. For details, visit www.cascadiachamberopera.org.
