San Diego Opera Presents Drive-In Event ‘All is Calm’
By Nicolas QuirogaThe San Diego Opera’s 2020-2021 season will continue with a drive-in showcase of the 2018 “All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914,” on Monday, December 21, 2020.
Preceding the screening will be a concert featuring members of the San Diego Opera chorus as they showcase of holiday favorites at the drive-in of Del Mar Fairgrounds parking lot.
Created by director Peter Rothstein, the showcase features tenors Jon Keenan, Chad Frisque, Alexis Alfaro, Timothy Simpsons, Bernardo Bermudez, Daniel Moyer, Victor Morris; baritones Michael Sokol, Anthony Whitson-Martini, Andreuu Konopak, Jonatan Nussman, Matthew Fallesen; and basses Shelby Condray, Joshua Arky, Walter Dumelle and Christopher Stevens.
“When we produced ‘All Is Calm’ in 2018, the audience response was overwhelming, and we’ve received requests to produce it again since then. Although current safety protocols in response to COVID-19 make it impossible for us to produce it live now, I’m thrilled to be able to share a beautifully filmed performance from 2018 with our audiences,” David Bennett, San Diego Opera’s General Director, stated in a press release. “Preceded by live holiday music favorites with members of the San Diego Opera chorus in a sing-along format, this is guaranteed a unique, fun, and moving holiday experience for the whole family.”
Due to COVID19, attendees must wear face masks when they get out of their vehicles. When they do so, they must also abide by social distancing protocols.
