BEL CANTO: Good news from my doctor, the great clown Pagliacci is town.

For more than three decades the Italian American Heritage Foundation of San Jose has thrown this annual party to expose local audiences to classical Italian opera. This collaboration between Opera San Jose and the IAHFSJ opens with a cocktail hour, followed by dinner catered by Elegant Events SJ and a program of some of the opera world’s greatest hits—by Italian, as well as French, Russian and English composers. The night will conclude with group Christmas carols. Tickets are $45 for IAHF members and $50 for guests of members.
