OVENS AUDITORIUM
THE ONLY “DOG DAYS” AT THE CYPRESS BELONG TO YOUR DOG s man’s best friend, I only want the best for my owner, and we sure got more than the best when we moved to The Cypress! When we bought our home, they customized it just for us (new hardwoods for him, a big yard for me). And they take care of everything for him, inside and out. There’s plenty of room for me to explore around the 65-acre campus and lots of time for me to catch up on my naps while he’s out at the Clubhouse or attending events with his friends. And the best part is the food! When he’s feeling generous, he’ll sneak me a delicious snack from one of the on-campus restaurants. The Cypress even has a healthcare center on campus if he needs it (and I hear it’s much nicer than a visit to the v-e-t). Yep, The Cypress life is far from “ruff,” come see for yourself… even if you’re a cat person.

‘Tis the Season to Sing!
I
Opera Carolina continues a 21-year tradition of caroling across the county
f you think opera is all high-brow and sung in Italian, you’ve never heard Opera Carolina’s chorus sing “Jingle Bells.” Charlotte-area residents will have several opportunities to hear members of the chorus sing beloved songs of the season – from holy hymns to jolly jingles. The season kicks off in November at the Southern Christmas Show and concludes with a mid-December concert just for families and staff at Levine Children’s Hospital. “We sing the standards everyone loves,” said Alina MacNichol, Opera Carolina’s director of customer service and community engagement and a 16-year veteran of the chorus. “We do ‘Silent Night,’ ‘Away in a Manger,’ ‘Joy to the World.’ We also sing international songs – like ‘Riu, Riu, Chiu’ (in Spanish), ‘Silent Night for all the World’ (which has seven languages represented), Greek carols and more.” Holiday music like “The Nutcracker Jingle” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” is on some of the set lists, as is a jazzy version of “Jingle Bells.” The caroling group varies in size from 10 to 25, but it always contains members of the 60-voice chorus and the resident company. It’s impossible to say who loves this tradition more – audiences or carolers. “It’s a wonderful way to communicate our love for all types of music,” MacNichol said. “We think it’s particularly important now to communicate the spirit of hope and unity across cultures.”
This year, you can see the Opera Carolina Chorus throughout the Charlotte community. Following is the schedule, which is subject to change: Saturday, Nov. 18 • 6 p.m. Southern Christmas Show The Park Expo and Conference Center 800 Briar Creek Road, Charlotte, N.C. Sunday, Nov. 26 • 7 to 9 p.m. Holiday Concert St. Nektarios Greek Orthodox Church 5108 Kuykendall Rd, Charlotte, N.C.

Tuesday, Dec. 12 • 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Kendra Scott fundraiser for Opera Carolina Kendra Scott store, SouthPark Mall Sharon and Fairview Rds.

A long tradition of helping our community perform at its best. At Moore & Van Allen we have a long tradition of supporting the arts. Whether they entertain, inspire or simply add beauty to our community, the arts can have an impact on everyone. There are very few things in life that can achieve that. Which, in our minds, is an uncommon art.
