July Cinballera Salon - Songs of America at Villa Montezuma

On July 21, the 3rd Monday of the month, join us at the Villa Montezuma at 7 PM for Songs of America!

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. July is the sixth month during year 2 of Cinballera Salon: Opera at the Villa!

This month's theme is Songs of America. As the United States celebrates the anniversary of declaring its independence on the Fourth of July, we'll be honoring America's musical history at this Salon. There will be plenty of American opera arias and scenes from the 20th century, art songs by American composers, and even some Italian grand opera set in the good old USA! As this month also marks the two-year anniversary of Cinballera's first show, we'll be featuring excerpts from several of our past mainstage shows.

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. Usually hosted the third week of the month, each evening will have a different theme. 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 July, the dress code is patriotic fashion, so deck yourselves out in red, white, and blue with the stars and stripes! 

No tickets; admittance with a donation (suggested amount $25 per person). All the proceeds support the two non-profit organizations, Cinballera and Friends of the Villa Montezuma, and pay the performers.
