3BR Distillery

This September, <a href="https://www.creative-operations.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Creative OPERAtions</a> and <a href="https://www.3brdistillery.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">3BR Distillery</a> are serving opera a little differently. Bite-Sized Opera: Just a Taste of Carmen offers audiences a “distilled” version of Bizet’s Carmen filled with unforgettable music, theatrical storytelling, tarot imagery, and a dash of the unexpected.
The evening begins with a short recital exploring the music that inspired—and was inspired by—Carmen. Following a brief intermission, the program continues with a one-hour adaptation of the opera, sung in the original French with dialogue and narration in English. Each of Carmen’s four principal characters is represented by a tarot card reflecting the beliefs, choices, and unseen forces that guide their journey. As the cards, music, and drama intertwine, audiences are drawn into Carmen’s world of passion, freedom, jealousy, and fate—all within the distinctive atmosphere of 3BR’s Soviet-punk tasting room. Handcrafted cocktails will be available for purchase throughout the evening.

Bell Works

The Sarala Bathena Foundation was born from something deeply personal- a family's desire to honor Sarala Bathena's legacy by continuing the values she held close: generosity, compassion, and caring for others.
For the Bathena Family, those values have always extended into the family business, Buy Rite Liquors. What began as relationships built through years in the wine and spirits industry has grown into an extraordindary community of customers, suppliers, distributors, and friends who have embraced the Sarala Bathena Foundation and its mission as their own.&nbsp;
For 19 years, the Super Sampling has brought together an extraordinary collection of fine wines, premium spirits, rare pours and celebrated brands for one unforgettable evening- all in support of a greater purpose.&nbsp;
 Guests are invited to sip, discover, and experience exceptional selections from some of the most sought after offerings in the world on Saturday, October 24th at Bell Works in Holmdel, NJ.
 But every glass poured represents something more.
 Proceeds from the 19th Annual Super Sampling support the Sarala Bathena Foundation's mission of giving back, including financial assistance for oncology patients and their families through the Sarala Bathena Oncology Patient Assistance Fund at Hackensack Meridian JFK University Medical Center.
 The establishment of our Sarala Bathena Foundation India Chapter marks an exciting new milestone in our mission, continuing the support of schools and underprivledged children in India. &nbsp;
 Cheers to 19 years of generosity, community, and changing lives
