Donizetti’s charming comedy is a celebration of innocence, so what setting could be better than a small Italian-American community in Napa Valley, circa 1915? In this ingenious update, the naïve Nemorino believes that a love potion will win him Adina’s heart. Blossoming from a shy Italian immigrant to a plucky entrepreneur, he captures both his sweetheart and the American dream over the course of this delightful opera buffa. Tenor Ramon Vargas superbly embodies the role of the lovesick Nemorino. The beautiful but aloof Adina is sung by soprano Inva Mula. Recorded fall 2008, War Memorial Opera House, San Francisco. In Italian; English subtitles; one intermission.

The City of Torrance is not the only one extolling a Centennial this year. Sharing the City's 100 birthday, is also the Torrance Fire Dept. (TFD) - celebrating a century of community service. The TFD started as a volunteer organization during the very first meeting of the town's leadership in 1912.
Retired Torrance Fire Fighter and historian, Jim Ellingson, will highlight the history of what began as a one-man volunteer fire department, and grew into a Class One rated team of dedicated Firefighters. Jim has also written a book on the history of the Torrance Fire Dept., and it will be available for purchase and signing.
Light refreshments will be served.
