The Boston Globe
INNKEEPER OFFERS NOTEWORTHY AMENITIES
October 2, 2005
By Julie Hatfield
Plenty of sweet little New England inns have good chefs and sophisticated menus,
and most of them play recorded music for your dining pleasure, but how many can
offer you a night at the opera, complete with a lecture, recordings of various
versions of the opera, and a couple of arias sung by the innkeeper? All this
while serving a specially planned, four-course dinner that complements the
setting of that night’s opera.
Nights at the Opera at the Inn at Crystal Lake, in the village of Eaton Center,
N.H., feature Tim Ostendorf – innkeeper, Boston University music school graduate
and talented baritone – in sellout nights of culture in the White Mountains. $55 per person; dinner starts at 6:30. Opera night is
the third or fourth Thursday of each month from September to May.

Night
at the Opera
Something a little different has been happening at the Inn at Crystal Lake. In
January of 2005, Tim Ostendorf, one of the owners of the inn, started presenting
once a month “Nights at the Opera”.
