Amahl and the Night Visitors, a one-act Christmas opera in English written by Gian Carlo Menotti, is a Genesis Opera Theatre production featuring an all-star cast of talent drawn from Southern California’s San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside Counties, directed by Cynthia Leigh with musical direction by Abraham Fabella. “Amahl…” was first broadcast on television December 24, 1951 on the network’s “Hallmark Hall of Fame.” It was inspired by “The Adoration of the Magi,” a painting hanging in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. Based on old tales of the Nativity and Epiphany, “Amahl…” is a retelling of the story of the Magi from the point of view of a young disabled boy named Amahl, who lives in poverty with his poor widowed mother near Bethlehem. When the three Kings arrive to lodge for one night, their lives change forever. This heartwarming story is a perfect introduction to opera for kids as well as adults.

Viral K-Beauty Skin Tightening Tech XERF - Now in Temecula

Bella Vida MedSpa

Bella Vida MedSpa is excited to announce that we are now the first and only clinic in Temecula to offer XERF™, an FDA-cleared, non-invasive skin-tightening treatment that is rapidly becoming one of the most talked-about innovations in aesthetics. XERF is a groundbreaking multifrequency monopolar radiofrequency system engineered in South Korea, a global leader in cosmetic and K-beauty technology. Unlike traditional devices that only treat the surface, XERF targets the deep dermis, fat septa, and the SMAS layer—the same structural layer tightened during a surgical facelift. This allows XERF to lift and firm the jawline, lower face, and neck without downtime, needles, or anesthesia. Its FDA clearance underscores its strong safety profile and clinical reliability. Alongside XERF, Bella Vida MedSpa is proud to offer LaseMD Ultra, a top K-beauty thulium resurfacing laser designed to brighten, smooth, and rejuvenate the skin with minimal recovery time. This treatment has become extremely popular among patients seeking improved texture, pigment reduction, and a radiant, youthful glow without aggressive downtime. In addition to these advanced technologies, Bella Vida MedSpa provides a full range of medical aesthetic services including BOTOX, dermal fillers, radiofrequency microneedling, non-surgical body contouring, IV hydration, and medical-grade skincare. All treatments are performed by licensed medical professionals trained in evidence-based techniques with a strong emphasis on patient safety and natural results. With the arrival of XERF and LaseMD Ultra, Bella Vida MedSpa continues its mission to bring Temecula the latest, safest, and most innovative technologies in modern aesthetics—right here in the heart of the Inland Empire. To learn more or schedule a consultation, please contact: Bella Vida MedSpa 26550 Ynez Road, Suite B Temecula, CA 92591 (951) 296-9988 www.bellavida-medspa.com
