Anything can happen at the Grand Hotel! Singing, dancing, drama, and romance abound within its opulent walls! The year: 1945 The place: San Diego County’s now-demised Carlsbad Mineral Springs Hotel & Spa The result: Theatre magic! The lives of five unforgettable guests cross paths one weekend at the Grand Hotel. Who are these strangers? - A despondent opera diva - A disgraced baron turned jewel thief - An ambitious stenographer - A shell-shocked Army pilot - A greedy business tycoon Meanwhile, the ever-present concierge is the thread which weaves all the characters together as narrator. Cinballera Entertainment lives up to its name in this exciting show which blends the three art forms of Cinema, Ballet, and Opera into one seamless work. Inspired by two great classic films, the star-studded Grand Hotel (1932) and its 1945 remake Weekend at the Waldorf, this original ballopera pays tribute to early 20th-century musical comedy and American operetta with its unique narrative blend of singing, dancing, and dialogue. Featuring a stunning assortment of music — from the light theatre tunes of Kurt Weill to epic arias from grand verismo operas — all the singing and dancing will be performed live to piano accompaniment by a cast of six Cinballera favorites. This is a reservation you know you’ll want to make! $35 (General Admission) $20 (Student/Senior/Military) $100 (VIP) Enjoy the show from our elite VIP lounge for a luxurious experience!

Experience one of San Diego’s most cherished holiday traditions from the best seat in the harbor — aboard a Flagship yacht. On Sunday, December 14, and Sunday, December 21, the 55th Annual San Diego Bay Parade of Lights will illuminate the waterfront with this year’s theme, “An Out of This World Christmas.” More than 100,000 spectators are expected along the shore, but you can enjoy the parade up close, on the water, in comfort and style. This event sells out every year — and we expect tickets to go especially fast this season. Flagship Cruises & Events on Facebook / Instagram
