You can’t buy love – but maybe you can drink it! Gaetano Donizetti’s beloved opera "The Elixir of Love (L’elisir d’amore)" is a classic romantic comedy, called “opera buffa” in Italian. Set in the Basque Country, it’s a charming story of five colorful characters: Nemorino, a simple, sincere peasant; Adina, a beautiful, wealthy landowner; Belcore, a dashing, pompous sergeant; Dr. Dulcamara, a charlatan medicine man; and Gianetta, the village gossip. Nemorino loves Adina, who mocks his infatuation. When Sergeant Belcore arrives to court Adina, Nemorino finds a solution as Dr. Dulcamara comes to town peddling his potions. Dulcamara sells the unsuspecting Nemorino an Elixir of Love, which is just wine. Can the elixir work some magic after all? Cinballera Entertainment presents this opera in concert at the Villa Montezuma with piano, highlighting the five soloists, Alexis Alfaro, Tiffany Brannan, Igor Vieira, Bryan Dahl, and Rebekah Brannan.

Join the Library Shop SD at the San Diego Central Library @ Joan Λ Irwin Jacobs Common to celebrate the release of "More Everything Forever." This event will be located in the Shiley Suite on the 9th floor. This author event includes a conversation, Q&A, and the opportunity to get your book signed. RSVP required. Adam Becker is a science journalist with a PhD in astrophysics, and he has a bone to pick with the pseudo-scientific claims of some noted tech moguls. Join Library Shop SD for a fascinating and empowering author talk, as Dr. Becker presents "More Everything Forever: AI Overlords, Space Empires, and Silicon Valley’s Crusade to Control the Fate of Humanity." When figures like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Sam Altman make big claims about science and the future of humanity, it’s tempting to take them at their word — but beneath those big claims about AI, “earning to give,” and space travel, closer examination often reveals a blend of junk science, cultish mania, and political power grabs. Are they driving us toward the future, or steering the world off-course? Books may be purchased through Library Shop SD's event link. All proceeds support the San Diego Public Library.
