On Friday and Saturday evenings, a prix fixe dinner with wine pairings will continue to be offered.
Chef Mayet Cristobal has created a seasonal menu providing a perfect way to set the stage for Prometheus Bound—a new production by CalArts Center for New Performance in association with Trans Arts—presented Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings September 5–28.
A new dining experience before Thursday evening performances is the Nectar of the Gods Sunset Celebration on the South Balcony. From 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., guests can enjoy light Mediterranean fare, wine, and beer on the Museum’s south balcony, overlooking the Outer Peristyle garden. The menu will include goat cheese-filled black mission figs, summer melon and peaches and charcuterie paired with imported white and red wines, Mionetto Prosecco and Peroni beer. For dessert, Cantucci and passion fruit dark chocolate truffles complete the celebration.
The sit-down dinner menu, served Friday and Saturday evenings in the private dining room overlooking the outdoor theater, begins with a black mission figs and ricotta salata, followed by your choice of three entrées, Barolo beef with Weiser Farms potatoes and baby vegetables, pan seared scallops and sweet corn risotto, or a vegetarian option. Wine is available by the glass, and Chef Mayet suggests wine pairings to go with your menu selections. Enjoy coffee and dessert at the table—or take it with you to the theater.
Gourmet boxed dinners are also available, including a selection of fresh local salads, handcrafted sandwiches and wraps, a hot entrée and an artisan cheese box. House-baked desserts, which include petit cookies and Mrs. Garrett’s Carrot Cake, and a variety of beers and wines will also be available for purchase onsite.
The sunset celebration on Thursday evenings is $35 per person. Prix fixe dinners on Friday and Saturday evenings are $70 ($90 with wine pairing) and are served at 6:15 p.m., before the 8:00 p.m. curtain time. Advance reservations are required for both and can be made at www.getty.edu. To ensure a relaxing dinner experience, theater seats will be reserved in advance for all sunset celebration and prix fixe dinner guests.
