Midsummer Desire will be an evening of passion, beauty, and soaring voices -- a classical opera concert featuring Mount Vernon's own Elizabeth Feeney and Adia Bowen.
With beloved arias, lively theatrical performances, and a touch of summer magic, this recital brings together outstanding local talent from Mount Vernon and Seattle for a sophisticated evening of operatic passion and artistry.
When you attend or sponsor the Midsummer Desire concert, you’re not just enjoying an unforgettable evening of music -- you’re supporting the future of the Lincoln Theatre.
This special event is part of our Centennial Capital Campaign, a bold effort to preserve the historic Lincoln, expand accessibility, and invest in critical infrastructure upgrades ahead of our 100th anniversary in 2026.
Midsummer Desire is a fundraising event, and all proceeds go directly to the Centennial Campaign. Throughout the evening, guests will have the opportunity to make an additional gift to support this important initiative—helping ensure the Lincoln remains a vibrant, inclusive, and safe gathering place for generations to come.
Join us in celebrating the past and building the future -- one note, one gift, one unforgettable night at a time.
