Art in motion

A walk in the forest can be full of surprising sounds, changing conditions and expected diversions. Artist, instrument builder and avid birder Walter Kitundu captures that sense of the unknown variables of nature in "The Ceiling of the Day," an interactive photographic installation where the movement of each visitor triggers flying birds and vintage slide projectors. Get a first look at Kitundu's work and other new exhibitions at a "Night in the Museum" cocktail party from 6 to 8 p.m. March 28 at the Bolinas Museum at 48 Wharf Road. Tickets are $20 to $25. A free preview is at 2 p.m. March 29, followed by an opening reception from 3 to 5 p.m. The exhibitions run through June 1. Call 868-0330, or go to http://www.bolinasmuseum.org.

Ciao Italia!

Nothing goes with a crisp glass of bubbling prosecco and a hearty Tuscan dinner quite like the warm, expressive tones of classic Italian opera. The Golden Gate Opera debuts its new Supper Club Opera series with "Italian Opera Night," featuring a sampling of passages from operatic favorites such as "La Boheme," "La Traviata" and "L'Italiana in Algeri" performed by soprano Michelle Jasso (pictured), mezzo-soprano Nickola Prinz and maestro Robert Ashens. The evening starts with appetizers at 6:30 p.m. March 28 at the Sausalito Seahorse Restaurant and Night Club at 305 Harbor Drive in Sausalito. Tickets are $45 to $100. Call 331-2899 or 339-9546, or go to http://www.goldengateopera.org.
