On May 25, for one night only, there will be a special performance at the Timken Museum in Balboa Park — a staged reading of “Cadenza: Mozart’s Last Year,” in honor of the 25th anniversary of Mainly Mozart, the distinguished organization that has been offering fine music to San Diegans since 1988.
“Cadenza” will be presented by Vantage Theatre, a small non-profit company known for collaborative, site-specific projects. Its mainstays are longtime La Jollans —executive director Dori Salois and her husband, playwright/director Robert Salerno.
