On December 15, the 3rd Monday of the month, joins us at the Villa Montezuma for the December Cinballera Salon - "Amahl and the Night Visitors" and Songs of Christmas!One evening each month, Cinballera hosts its own monthly opera night, Cinballera Salon: Opera at the Villa! We're collaborating with the historic Villa Montezuma Museum at 1925 K Street, San Diego in the historic Sherman Heights Historic District. December is the tenth and final month during year 2 of Cinballera Salon: Opera at the Villa!
In December, we're presenting the most beloved Christmas opera, Gian Carlo Menotti's "Amahl and the Night Visitors," at the Villa! This heartwarming English opera tells the story of what happens when the Three Magi visit a crippled shepherd boy and his widowed mother one winter night during their journey following the Star of Bethlehem. You'll laugh and cry. We'll be presenting the full opera in the intimate setting of the Salon with costumes and as much staging as possible! The program's second half will feature a delightful assortment of classical holiday songs.
We call this series Cinballera Salon because it is a loving tribute to the musical salons of years past, when friends would gather in lovely parlor to enjoy sharing music for an evening. Music on the program will include opera arias, art songs, and other classical vocal music, performed by talented operatic singers from throughout the region. There is a special emphasis on duets, trios, and other ensembles, to recreate opera scenes in an intimate setting.
In keeping with this mansion's gracious history, we encourage our guests to use this as an excuse to dress up for an evening out! Gentlemen, dust off your favorite suit and tie, and ladies, here's a chance to wear that dress and hat you've been saving! For December, wear your holiday best!
Join us for this Yuletide opera celebration!
