“Trial by Jury,” Gilbert & Sullivan’s comic operetta, a gem rarely performed by major opera companies, returns to San Diego County for the first time since 2009 on April 25 & 26 at Trinity Episcopal Church in Escondido, courtesy of Genesis Opera Theatre. The 30-minute operetta in English is a fast-paced contemporary courtroom circus where love, law and public opinion collide in the most delightfully ridiculous ways. Imagine sharp suits, social-media-level drama, your favorite reality TV show, and a legal system that’s just as theatrical as the people in it. Gilbert & Sullivan’s signature wit, speed and musical charm are clever, chaotic and irresistibly fun. Genesis Opera Theatre production features an all-star cast of talent drawn from Southern California’s San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties, is directed by Patrick Anderson with musical director Abraham Fabella. “This fun production will be a new experience for most who attend. And those who know Gilbert & Sullivan’s repertoire will be thrilled with the accompanying concert of G&S favorites. I’m thrilled to be able to share this program with new audiences and seasoned operagoers alike,” says Genesis Opera Theatre founder Cynthia Leigh. Proceeds from the performances Saturday April 25 at 7 p.m. and Sunday April 26 at 3 p.m. benefit Genesis Opera Theatre and Trinity Episcopal Church. Genesis Opera Theatre’s mission is to make opera accessible to people of all ages for a reasonable price, and with the hope of inspiring young people to explore the art form further as participants or patrons.

Zarzuela comes to San Diego! A passionate beauty sways the hearts and political leanings of two men as Spain is torn between monarchy and revolution in Federico Moreno Torroba’s “Luisa Fernanda.” This fiery yet romantic drama is a great example of Zarzuela, a unique Spanish art form incorporating classical singing as well as spoken words to tell stories of the people. “Luisa Fernanda” was written in 1932, and it has been one of the most beloved Zarzuelas ever since. Cinballera Entertainment is honoring San Diego’s rich Hispanic history by performing this Zarzuela in concert at the beautiful Villa Montezuma. The production will be performed in costume and with as much staging as possible in the intimate setting of the Villa. Cinballera’s Season 3 finale also honors its founders’ operatic history. Sisters Tiffany and Rebekah Brannan performed in this opera at ages 12 and 9, their first opera. Cinballera Entertainment on Facebook / Instagram
