Three Incredible Shows This Week at Opera House

A great weekend of shows await you at the Opera House this weekend

After an awesome week with the Napa Valley Film Fest, we have three incredible shows this week at the Napa Valley Opera House.

On Thursday night Dorado Schmitt and the Django Reihhardt Festival All-Stars.  I have worked with Dorado Schmitt several times, he's a great guitarist.  This show will also feature the incredible accordion of Ludovic Beier.  I've seen him play 5 or 6 times and he amazes me every time.  He is a master of the button accordion, and plays like no one you've ever heard or imagined.  He can do lightening fast runs, bend notes, or make you cry with the beauty of his ballad playing.

Friday night is the amazing African singer Angelique Kidjo, one of the most energetic, entertaining singers I’ve ever seen.  Born in Benin, her music is an amazing mix of Rock, Pop, Soul, R&B, and Funk, all played with African sensibilities.  She has collaborated with Carlos Santana, Dave Matthews, Josh Grobin and many others.  It may be difficult to remain seated during this show…. And if that’s the case: get up and dance in the aisles, it’s OK!

And, on Saturday, it's "MacHomer," Rick Miller's one man show of MacBeth, done with the voices of the Simpsons. I've heard about this show for years, and always wanted to present it.  Here's your last chance to see it too, as Mr. Miller is retiring the show after the Napa performance.

So..... head to the Opera House this weekend for three amazing shows!
