 La Befana vien di notte
con le scarpe tutte rotte
col vestito alla romana:
Viva viva la Befana!
Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 1:30 pm
La Befana
Museo ItaloAmericano
Fort Mason Center, Building C
San Francisco, CA 94123
The Legend of La Befana, written by Emelise Aleandri, is a delightful musical and dramatic recreation, for children and adults alike, of the story of the good Italian Christmas Witch who visits children on the eve of the Epiphany and leaves presents for good children but coal, stones and ashes for naughty ones. La Befana narrates as other colorful characters from the legend come to life. The company sings Christmas songs in both English and Italian, and leads the children in singing and some dancing but adults are equally entertained and informed by the show.

 The Italian Cultural Institute co-presents with Café du Nord, Italian-born singer-songwriter Elisa, a multi-platinum, award-winning star, on the launch of her first tour of the United States and Canada that started on October 29.
As acclaimed internationally for her powerful live performances as for her inspired, emotionally direct pop-rock recordings, Elisa has appeared on various world stages with music legends including Andrea Bocelli, Luciano Pavarotti and Tina Turner. To date, though, her only North American engagements have been singing the Italian national anthem at the closing ceremony of the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics and two sold-out shows at NYC’s Joe’s Pub in April 2008.
Date: Thursday, November 20, 2008
