Come join us for a festive celebration at DUM, Todos Santos’ own Michelin restaurant! Our traditional Mexican posada will be filled with fabulous music, food, and fun. Piñata festivities, welcome drink, opera singers leading both sides of the “villancicos” (in which Mary and Joseph seek shelter but are repeatedly turned away), musical performances and an incredible Christmas dinner made by DUM chef Aurélien Legeay with ingredients from our local, sustainable producers Palma Serena and Grow Pescadero. All zero waste, all the time! All proceeds directly support Alianza Cero Basura as we work to transform Todos Santos and El Pescadero into the first zero waste tourism destination in Mexico!
Two incredibly talented Mexican opera singers and their pianist will be leading the musical festivities!
Marcelo Chacon, a soprano with the National Opera Company of Mexico, has sung iconic roles in numerous opera productions both at home and abroad including Micaela in Carmen by Bizet, Gilda in Rigoletto by Verdi, Violetta Valéry in La Traviata by Verdi, Musetta in La Bohème by Puccini, Rosalinde in Die Fledermaus by Strauss,and Carmina Burana by Orff.
Carla Acosta Villavicencio, also a soprano, is a Baja California Sur native and the director of the Music School of Baja California Sur. She has performed on stages throughout Mexico and the United States, and her repertoire spans baroque, classical, and vocal chamber music.
Renowned Mexican pianist Sergio Vazquez will accompany the two sopranos. He has collaborated with the Metropolitan Opera House, Covent Garden, Teatro alla Scala, and with singers such as Ramón Vargas, Sumi Jo, Francisco Araiza, Fernando de la Mora, Javier Camarena, and María Katsarava. He is currently the pianist for the Compañía Nacional de Ópera de Bellas Artes and the Sistema Nacional de Fomento Musical.
