This year, the Napa Valley Opera House (NVOH) is proudly celebrating its tenth year anniversary since re-opening its doors in 2003, with their annual Gala on Saturday, October 12th at the Charles Krug Winery amongst the Peter Mondavi Sr. Family Vineyards. Not only a retrospective of the last ten years, the night will focus on the future growth of the historic venue. Paul Cantey, NVOH Board Member and Gala Co-Chair explains, 'this years gala is an important event as it celebrates the Opera House's 10th Year Anniversary and will help raise funds to transition the Opera House into a new era, with increased community programming and the start of an education program that will send artists into the schools.' The next ten years are sure to be just as successful as the first ten at the Napa Valley Opera House.

GIRL RISING, Academy Award-nominated director Richard E. Robbins' new feature film about the strength of the human spirit and the power of education to change the world, premiered last night in New York at the Paris Theatre.
