Rey Villalobos at the Doe Bay Cafe, 7 p.m. Solo singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, founder of The Coral Sea, a California-based indie band that created quite a buzz for themselves after the band’s songs were featured on Grey’s Anatomy and many other TV shows and films. This Winter 2010 Rey Villalobos has wrapped up the recording of a new album, which speaks to Villalobos’ indie rock roots, while embracing a decidedly vintage folk feel. 376-8059 or www.doebay.com

Seattle Opera Young Artists: “Viva La Mamma.” Seasoned opera fans and first timers will enjoy “Viva La Mamma,” as it pokes fun at the idiosyncrasies of the operatic art form. 7:30 p.m. at the Center Stage, Orcas Center.

Hilarity abounds, and even the most seasoned impresario doesn’t stand a chance of holding this production together. Cost: $25, $17 (Orcas Center members), $11 (students). Call 376-2281
