Music in the capital

Capital city Santo Domingo’s active nightlife continues with a long-awaited performance by Mexican rock band Mana at the Quisqueya Ball Park on 12 June at 8:30pm. Tickets are going fast and the event is expected to sell out. Tickets may still be available at the Nacional Supermarkets (call before getting there) and at Orange phone customer centers. The concert is part of their “Amar es Combatir World Tour”. Also in Santo Domingo this weekend are the opening performances of the musical based on Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserables” at the National Theater, with a cast that includes Cecilia Garcia, Carolina Rivas, Nuryn Sanlley, Frank Ceara, Kenny Grullon and Antonio Melenciano. The Jazz Festival continues every Friday in June and July at the Casa de Teatro in the Colonial City. Santo Domingo Jazz Big Band is scheduled for 12 June.
