Tri-Cities Opera (TCO) is set to present “Cocoa & Carols,” a new Christmas special, starting on Dec. 13, 2021.

The event, which will be directed and hosted by Jake Stamatis, will welcome a host of other artists from Tri-Cities Opera and Binghamton University, who will share songs of holiday cheer. Artists making special appearances include Meroë Adeeb, Carla DelVillaggio, Jake & Jill Gardner, The Heath Sisters, and Jordan Schreiner, among others.

“We are delighted to welcome back these wonderful artists, who trained here at TCO” in a year that has had a difficult time traveling and the traditions can look very different,” John Rozzoni, CEO of TCO, said in a press release.

“We always talk about TCO and the importance of having opera in our arts community,” added Mary O’Malley-Trumble, Senior Location Executive at IBM Endicott. “We loved the idea of Cocoa & Carols to celebrate the holiday season during the pandemic.”
