Opera San Jose presents “Cinderella (La Cenerentola)
What happens when you take the "bippity-boppity-boo" out of Cinderella? You get something even more magical - Rossini's enchanting La Cenerentola. This isn't Rodgers and Hammerstein or Walt Disney - no singing mice, fairy godmother, or glass slippers. There is a charming prince, however, as well as obnoxious stepsisters, a stupid stepfather, and a matching pair of diamond bracelets. And everything ends happily in a blaze of glorious coloratura. The Cinderella in this opera is named Angelina, and she is as kind and gentle and forgiving as her name implies. And because this is a Rossini opera, Angelina and the rest of the cast also possess everlasting energy and exceptional vocal ability. The music is fast, fast, fast, and the action is at full throttle. Practically everyone is in disguise most of the time, all the deception is hilarious, and the patter is never-ending. This is comedy in the fast lane, with dazzling music and vocal pyrotechnics. The Barber of Seville might have made Rossini famous, but it was La Cenerentola that cemented his reputation and made his comic style the world's favorite.

Nederlander Concerts and Team San Jose presents “Jaguares”
As Latin alt-rock's most durable gods, Jaguares have found poetry in darkness, strength in musical mystery and in Mexican tradition. Jaguares is a band who plays with the same passion and devotion for 120,000 fans in the Zócalo of Mexico City, a small club in Paris, a cultural event in Oaxaca or an amphitheatre in Los Angeles. The band has proven time and time again that they can sell out venues without a new single on the radio or a new record in stores. With virtually no radio airplay or TV exposure in the U.S., Jaguares continue to tour the states and consistently perform to capacity crowds across the country. Jaguares make music born of the present but rooted in the spirits of the past, music that when performed live is far more than a concert—it's a communal ritual between thousands of singing strangers. The candles are lit, the priests take the stage and in the space of a single evening, the concert becomes a holy rock-and-roll ceremony.
