December Cinballera Salon - Songs of the Season

On December 16, the 3rd Monday of the month, join us at the Villa Montezuma at 7 PM for Songs of the Season!

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. November will be Salon's eighth month.

This month's theme is Songs of the Season. 

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.

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! In keeping with the theme, the suggested style guide is holiday fashion. Christmas patterns, red and green, and winter styles are the order of the day. Show us your Yuletide best.

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.
