veryone was clearly in the right aria when Opera Santa Barbara, celebrating its 26th anniversary, threw its annual gala at the Biltmore, with the 150 guests raising more than $236,972 for the organization, including $116,400 from a paddle raise conducted by artistic and general director Kostis Protopapas. The boffo bash, co-chaired by Joan Rutkowski, board chair, and Steven Sharpe, general director for 11 years until 2017, honored dynamic duo Roger and Sarah Chrisman, a board member, for their generous philan-
thropy over the years, including sponsoring the Chrisman Studio Artist Program. Tenors Chandler Johnson, Arnold Rawls and Daniel Montenegro, sopranos Anya Matanovic, Sarah Vautour and Julia Metzler, mezzo-soprano Kelly Guerra and baritone John Allen Nelson, accompanied by Tim Accurso on piano, provided the entertainment, with Josh Wheeker rendering a particularly rousing Nessun dorma from Puccini’s opera Turandot.
