It’s the most wonderful time of year at Feinstein’s with holiday-themed programs and tributes to classical Christmas performers. Throw in a Broadway legend and an ugly sweater event, and your holiday will be complete.
This evening and again on Thursday, Dec. 7, Broadway legend Franc D’Ambrosio takes the stage performing his favorite holiday songs in “Christmas in Carmel” wherein he joyously celebrates the music and magic of the holidays. The moment he steps up to the microphone, you will immediately get into the spirit of the season with classics like “Here Comes Santa Claus” and “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas.” You’ll enjoy hearing Broadway standards such as Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas” and “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music, followed by D’Ambrosio’s Nativity Medley, including “The Little Drummer Boy,” “Do You Hear What I Hear?” and his heart-stopping rendition of “O Holy Night.”
Like a parting gift tucked under the Christmas tree, he leaves you with the songs that made him famous: “The Music of the Night” from The Phantom of the Opera, and “Speak Softly Love” from Godfather III. There may be no place like home for the holidays, but there’s no one like Franc D’Ambrosio to guide you there. Both shows begin at 7:30 p.m.
