The Elixir of Love:
In Concert at the Villa Montezuma
You can’t buy love – but maybe you can drink it!
Gaetano Donizetti’s beloved opera The Elixir of Love (L’elisir d’amore) is a classic romantic comedy, called “opera buffa” in Italian. Cinballera Entertainment presents this opera in concert at the Villa Montezuma with piano, highlighting the five soloists. Two exclusive performances only! Learn more....
Starting in February 2024, 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.
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. 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.
We usually host these events on the third Monday of the month at 7 PM.
