What: "Arias, Overtures & Arabesques," a concert celebration presented by the Sacramento Opera, Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra and Sacramento Ballet.
When and where: Sept. 21 at the Sacramento Community Center Theater, 1301 L St., with the program starting at 2 p.m.; ticket prices range from $22 to $87; (916) 808-5181 or tickets.com.
The program: A selection of operatic arias by soloists and the Sacramento Opera chorus, accompanied by the Sacramento Philharmonic, along with principals from the Sacramento Ballet.
The purpose: To raise awareness of the variety of artistic performances presented by Sacramento companies.
Featured volunteer: Megan Redmond, an intern with Sacramento Opera putting together an education program for schools, will volunteer her time at a donor table during "Arias."
"This is a fantastic idea to have ballet, the Philharmonic and opera together. It gives people the opportunity to see everything that is out there," Redmond said.
A music management graduate from the University of the Pacific, Redmond has taken voice but prefers working in the background. "I am not a fan of being on stage," she said. "I get a little bit of stage fright."

Here are some rules of the road:
• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.
• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.
• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.
• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.
• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.
• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.
