Guests will enjoy an authentic Italian meal, fine wine and handcrafted cocktails as professional opera singers provide live entertainment in an intimate setting. Proceeds from Bella Notte help support Mission Opera’s high-quality, accessible productions, meant to foster a deeper appreciation of music and performing arts throughout the Los Angeles Metro area’s most underserved communities. The nonprofit is also a haven for emerging local artists and those pursuing jobs in all levels of production.

Oksana and JoshThe event’s co-sponsor, Oksana® Foundation, is a nonprofit founded by renowned pianist, composer and entrepreneur Oksana Kolesnikova. Her foundation provides premium, low-cost educational opportunities to underprivileged children through a wide array of after-school enrichment programs. A portion of the Bella Notte funds will also go toward expanding the foundation’s reach.

“It is an honor to work alongside Dr. Josh Wentz of Mission Opera, bringing value and entertainment to the Santa Clarita community, all while helping a good cause,” said Kolesnikova.

By hosting Bella Notte, Bella Cucina Italian Restaurant is expanding its role as a supporter of the arts, providing a welcoming space where music and culinary arts converge. As a beloved staple in Santa Clarita since 2005, it is more than just a restaurant—it’s a community hub where friends and families gather to enjoy the best of Italian cuisine.
