‘Masked Ball’ lecture
The San Francisco Opera, in conjunction with the San Jose Opera Guild and the Addison-Penzak Jewish Community Center in Los Gatos, is hosting a lecture on “Un Ballo in Maschera,” or “A Masked Ball.” Verdi’s opera tells the story of the assassination of a Swedish king in 1792.
The lecture will take place on Aug. 28 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Addison-Penzak JCC. It’s free for members of the opera guild and the JCC, and $10 for nonmembers.
