You may be wondering where the “INN”* place to be Sunday, September 30th might be....Well! The Roger Sherman Inn will be welcoming Autumn with “Arias Alfresco” and sharing a totally NEW dining experience with family and friends on the lawn (Yes, on the lawn!!!!) or the porch.  

 Joseph and Nes Jaffre have announced that the Roger Sherman Inn will be hosting an evening full of arias, duets, trios, and quartets from the world of opera, operetta and music theater...a full concert in an irresistible setting! The outdoor concert will feature artists such as Sarah Bleasdale, a native of North Stamford, whose talents have taken her around the world in productions including the German company of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera to a bit closer to home at our own Westport Playhouse as Prince Orlofsky in Die Fledermaus.  As Nes Jaffre stated, “We are privileged to have the talented (and stunningly gorgeous!!!!) Mr. Richard Weidlich who has performed in such diverse operas and musical theater as La Traviata...La Boheme....Funny Girl...Showboat...the list goes on...”
