Cali: Opera, Rock, and the Scene Moving This Week

Highlights

What is making the most noise right now

Opera and Jazz Take Center Stage

This week, the Teatro Municipal Enrique Buenaventura dresses up for a night dedicated to great operatic overtures. It's an event to let yourself be carried away by classical music in an iconic space. If you prefer improvisation and the sound of the saxophone, the Salón de Conjuntos at FAI and the Auditorium at the Centro Cultural Colombo Americano welcome artistic director Drew Zaremba. Two distinct proposals, the same level of artistic rigor.

Rock the Plate and a Tenor's Farewell

On Saturday, May 9, Cali splits between the nostalgia of 60s and 70s rock at SAGA Rock and Food, and living history at Arena USC. The band Drinkover Band reinterprets eternal hits with raw energy, while tenor José Carreras closes his world tour with a show that promises to be unrepeatable. Two concerts worth your attention for the weight of their repertoires.

Tech, Humor, and Street Art

For those looking to grow professionally or laugh out loud, the offer is varied. The Pontificia Universidad Javeriana de Cali hosts a conference on Generative AI and IT Governance, ideal for understanding the current market. On the entertainment side, comedian Lucho Torres lands with his national tour celebrating 25 years of humor. If you prefer something more hands-on, Haku Tattoo Studio offers a painting and pot-planting session to disconnect.

Theater, Parties, and Local Networking

Independent theater has its space in the Teatrino of the Teatro Municipal with the play 'Dicen por ahí…', an intimate proposal to enjoy local narrative. For the weekends, La Azotea Gastrobar organizes a language exchange with a relaxed atmosphere, and 128 Disco Club prepares a party with Jean Carlos Centeno. Close the week with a yoga and brunch for mom at Café Gardenia Río, a plan to breathe and connect.
