Angela Edan Moser, Soprano

Bringing a “passion to performances that is rich and tangible,” soprano Angela Eden Moser offers her innate musical expression to a wide range of concert and operatic repertoire. Ms. Moser performs primarily in the San Francisco area, but her extensive experience has taken her to concert stages within the United States and abroad at renowned music festivals in Europe.

Vincent Chambers, Tenor

A native of San Francisco, Vincent Chambers is an accomplished opera singer, actor and musician. Mr. Chambers recently made his debut with the West Bay Opera in October of 2007, singing both Canio and Turiddu in Pagliacci and Cavelleria Rusticana respectively. This past March he performed Rodolfo in Puccini’s La Boheme with San Francisco Lyric Opera, and finally returned to West Bay Opera to perform Eric in Wagner’s Flying Dutchman this past May. Previous performances include Rodrigo in Verdi’s Otello with The Westfield Symphony (NJ), and Eisenstein in Die Fledermaus with Nevada Opera Theater. He also created the role of Ragnar Brovik in a new opera by Martin Halperin at the Theater for the New City in New York called The Scaffolding, as well as Sheldon in a new opera written by Michael Sahl called “Dinner and Delusion” performed at Symphony Space in NYC, and again at NYU’s Skirball Center for NY City Opera’s VOX New Opera series.

Summer is here, and Friday Nights are alive again on Main Street in Tiburon. Here’s a video of Mas Que Nada (one of my favorite all time songs) performed by Ritmojito, a special guest joins Sandra Aran of Ritmojito towards the end. Be sure to check out the live music schedule at Servino Ristorante.

This is one of my favorite bands, and they’re perfect for a place like Servino’s Ristorante. They have a really nice playlist which is jazzy and romantic for dinner, and transitions gradually through the evening to latin/ska/salsa that will get you on your feet as you party into the night.

The thirteenth Servino Opera Night will be held April 21, 2010 at 6:30pm. Performer, Menu and Wine details to be announced.

Opera Night #12 was a huge night celebrating the birthdays of Angelo Servino and Conductor/Pianist Robert Ashens. Read this excerpt from the facebook page “Servino’s Opera Night”:

“…a FAB time at Servino’s! Last night was no exception, with surprise entertainers on top of the already fun time 3 sopranos: Angela Moser, Nanette McGuinness and Ryan Nelson. Ben Bongers and Jeremy Silver jumped in at just the right moments and Angelo Servino, himself, got to perform! Stay tuned each month and prepare to be overwhelmed.”
