Beginning Tuesday, December 22, eight Farewell Performances of one of the most sensational International dance and music performances will ignite San Francisco for the Holidays – RIVERDANCE!
In thunderous celebration of Irish music, song, and dance, millions of spellbound audiences around the globe have thrilled to this International phenomenon.
- The Washington Post raves, “A Phenomenon of Historic Proportions!”
- The Chicago Tribune heralds Riverdance as “An explosion of sight and sound that simply takes your breath away.”
- The London Times exclaims, “A family evening unlike anything else!”
Riverdance thunderously celebrates Irish music, song, and dance. Beginning with the ancient days of Celtic mythology, you will be swept along Irish history as if in a “roaring river of dance, emotion, and music”. Celebrations of the sun, fire, water, and other forces of nature skillfully weave into the story of Irish immigration to America, the dark days of slavery, ultimate freedom, and finally the immigrants’ joyous return to their beloved land of Ireland.
Staged in San Francisco’s palatial Golden Gate Theatre, your family can enjoy an “unforgettable evening” at one or several of the following performances:
- Tuesday, December 22, at 7:30 PM
- Wednesday, December 23, at 1 PM and 7:30 PM
- Thursday, December 24, at 1 PM
- Saturday, December 26, at 1 PM and 7:30 PM
- Sunday, December 27, at 1 PM and 6:00 PM
The historic Golden Gate Theatre showcases these performances in grandeur and style. The original four-story tall sign has beckoned theater-goers for over 80 years. The Golden Gate began its humble debut in 1922 with vaudeville. Audiences clamored to see the Cinerama wide screen performances of the Marx Brothers and the legendary Frank Sinatra. Boasting a magnificent stage and leading-edge acoustics of that day, the Golden Gate Theatre was truly “the grand lady of San Francisco”.
Over time, “the grand lady” was altered beyond recognition, but now she stands in her original size and splendor proudly hosting live theater once again. Most recently, the Broadway blockbusters Hairspray, Movin’ Out, Mamma Mia!, Chicago, 42nd Street and Rent have delighted audiences in style.
AAA Transportation has the proud heritage of serving both individuals and businesses in the Tri-Valley and Bay Area since 2001. Whether you are destined for your wedding, a relaxing visit, a unique business meeting, or other special event, AAA Transportation’s luxury limousines, taxis, and vans escort you and your groups smoothly and effortlessly. While you enjoy complimentary beverages and sodas, AAA Transportation’s professional drivers care for your every need.

- Santa’s favorite elf will be spreading Good Cheer as he wanders around downtown businesses and restaurants looking for GOOD diners and shoppers. You could win one of many downtown gift cards!
- Gentle miniature holiday horses from Horizons East Stables will greet you throughout the evening. (Santa had to leave the reindeer at the North Pole to continue their rigorous flight training for December 25th.)
- Bibiane Bakery will build an unbelievable gingerbread house right before your eyes at the Museum on Main. In addition, they will also provide all the edible materials you need to make your own gingerbread house!

Aida … Lucia di Lammermoor … Candide … these are just a few of the world’s grandest operatic melodies you can enjoy on Friday, November 13, at 8 PM in the historic Paramount Theatre in Oakland, CA.
The world famous Oakland East Bay Symphony, conducted by Maestro Michael Morgan in his twentieth year as music director, will blend beautiful voices and soul-stirring orchestral playing to fill the Paramount with arias, overtures, and intermezzos especially selected for this moving, unforgettable operatic evening.
Maestro Morgan has also assembled a group of exceptionally talented young singers for your enjoyment, including:
Hope Briggs, soprano
Heidi Moss, soprano
Lori Willis, mezzo-soprano
Kalil Wilson, tenor
Zachary Gordin, baritone
Brian Leerhuber, baritone
Joshua Bloom, bass-baritone
and
Oakland Symphony Chorus
Lynne Morrow, Music Director
Even the most casual opera-goer will recognize and enjoy the wide range of well-known vocal and orchestral selections that will be featured. Children ages 10 and over will also enjoy this lively concert.
Doors open 60 minutes before show time.
The Oakland East Bay Symphony (OEBS) is a regional orchestra serving the diverse population of Oakland and the East Bay. The aim of the OEBS is to make classical music accessible to everyone in the region, particularly to those who might otherwise never hear live symphonic harmony. With outreaches to schools as well, the Symphony has gained regional and national recognition for its unique convergence of artistic excellence and community service.
Completed in late 1931, Oakland’s Paramount Theatre is one of the finest remaining examples of Art Deco design in the United States. Suffering three decades of neglect after its initial fame of “movie palace” in the 1930’s, it was restored to its original splendor in 1973.
Since that time, this historic Depression-era building has been meticulously maintained and fully upgraded to modern technical standards to enable the beautiful Paramount to grandly serve all the arts.
In addition to Symphony presentations, The Paramount also features Hollywood classic movies in which you’ll enjoy a newsreel, cartoon, previews, and the Paramount’s prize give-away game “Dec-O-Win”.
Also enjoy the unsurpassed beauty of professional ballet presented by The Oakland Ballet at various times through the year.
AAA Transportation proudly provides first-class, luxury transportation to individuals and businesses in the Tri-valley and the Bay Area. Since 2001, we have offered a stellar fleet of late model limousines, sedans, and vans. You may make your reservations by calling 866-558-0222 or online at www.aaa-trans.com.
