12th Annual Life Sciences LIVE at the Opera
Category: Community Events The members of San Diego's Life Sciences community are gathering together next month for a wonderful night of networking and world-class Opera at the 12th Annual Life Sciences LIVE at the Opera event on Wednesday, April 2, 2008.
In addition to enjoying a lavish Pre-Opera reception with the life science crowd, attending this year's event will provide an excellent way to be introduced to two of the very best tenors in the business-José Cura and Richard Leech.
Argentinean tenor, José Cura, makes his American debut (that's North and South America!) as Canio in Pagliacci. Blessed with a brilliant voice, sultry good looks and a huge following, he has been dubbed "The Fourth Tenor" of the opera world. Don't miss your chance to see him perform the role here in San Diego Opera before he performs the same role at the Met next year!
Starring in Cavalleria rusticana is American tenor, Richard Leech. A favorite at San Diego Opera, he's graced all of the world's best stages including Covent Garden, La Scala in Milan, Vienna State Opera, Paris Opera and has sung more than 150 performances at the Met! This will be Richard's debut as Turridu in Cavalleria rusticana.
SPECIAL TICKETS ARE REQUIRED to attend Life Sciences LIVE and are available for purchase via Bonnie Keller at San Diego Opera. You can reach her directly at 619.533.7044 or Bonnie.Keller@sdopera.com

FrameWorks Workshops present: Building a Company from the Ground Up - An Employer's Perspective
Category: FrameWorks Workshops Historically, the workplace remained almost entirely unregulated, with employees enjoying few, if any, rights. Today, with the complexity and variety of labor situations that can arise, employment law issues can potentially result in time-consuming and costly administrative complaints, or even lawsuits. In order to minimize the possibility of legal challenges in the workplace, it is imperative to understand the basic employment law responsibilities of an employer. B. Allison Borkenheim and Wendy Tucker from Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch LLP will provide an overview of basic labor and employment issues to help prepare you for the workplace.
Location: Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center
10905 Road to the Cure
San Diego, CA 92121
Cost: Pre-Registration $45. / At the Door $55.
