Bardavon 1869 Opera House

Bardavon 1869 Opera House The Temptations, with full orchestra will headline the Bardavon Gala 2009. The event celebrates the Bardavon 1869 Opera House’s 140th birthday.

Funds raised annually by the Bardavon Gala help underwrite many programs that cannot support themselves -- programs like our school residencies that bring artists and musicians... to local students, ambitious symphonic events, new programs at UPAC in Kingston and special events for senior citizens.

The Temptations are a multi-Grammy Award winning vocal group that achieved fame as one of the most successful acts to record for Motown Records. The group's repertoire has included, at various times during its five-decade career, R&B, doo-wop, funk, disco, soul, and adult contemporary music. They have sold over 22 million records in their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame career and their many hits include:

My Girl, Get Ready, Ain't Too Proud to Beg, Beauty Is Only Skin Deep, (I Know) I'm Losing You, All I Need, You're My Everything, I Wish It Would Rain, I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You), Cloud Nine, I'm Gonna Make You Love Me, I Can't Get Next to You, Ball of Confusion (That's What the World Is Today),Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me),Papa Was a Rollin' Stone, Masterpiece, Let Your Hair Down, Happy People, and Shakey Ground.
