Music captivates, inspires, and nourishes the heart and soul. For nearly two decades, Festival Napa Valley has transformed the lives of audiences and musicians alike, continuing to enchant with year-round programming dedicated to making the arts accessible to all.

“One must laugh a bit at Venus,” sings Norina. This could have stood as the raison d’etre for Gaetano Donizetti’s Don Pasquale at its Paris premiere in 1843, as well as for Festival Napa Valley’s delightful Manetti Shrem Opera production of the work at the Mondavi Center at UC Davis last Friday, November 15.

Festival Napa Valley has announced it is introducing a "Choose Your Price" ticket model for the 2025 Summer Season. This will be the first in the region and the new option, launching in March with single-ticket sales, advances the Festival's Arts for All mission by allowing attendees to select ticket prices that fit their budget.
