Greetings Opera Cocktales Fans, Friends and Family!
Yes, my friends, It’s summer in San Francisco!! Well, our kind of summer that is. And, we’ve been having some spectacularly changeable weather this year even for our beloved home town. Warm, cold? wet? within the space of an hour, or simply traveling from one neighborhood to another. Our fair city encompasses it all, with a windy flair for the provocative and unexpected. Fireworks will ignite the air on the 4th, of course, creating cascades of twirling light across the bay, but here at Opera Cocktales we will begin the month with our own special brand of fire, the passion created inside the operatic music we love best! Sparks will fly!!
This month’s Opera Cocktales includes some of our cherished lieder repertoire and a few new operatic endeavors. Spanish arias from Gimenez and Joaquin Nin-Culmell, a rose of fiery Carmen repertoire and a bit of madness from Verdi’s Macbeth and Puccini’s Tosca. July cascades into Aria Fire with our own operatic celebration of the season.
Soooo….Why not JOIN US!….
for an intimate journey of musical tales that shine a light into the beating heart of our blazing ‘oh-so-human’ experience!
We promise you a transformative performance worthy of that 2nd (or 3rd) specialty martini!!
Sit back and relax with your favorite taste sensation from the Martuni’s cocktail (or mocktail) menu while we SING for you!
Now….I ask you…What could be better than that??!!
July’s artists:
Jeff Jones – bass-baritone
Tristan Robben – baritone
Vismaya Lhi – spinto soprano/director
and we couldn’t be more excited about welcoming back our own personal sorceress at the keyboard – pianist Dara Phung
