When In Rome- SDGMC 2026 GALA

Grab your toga, tease your hair to Olympian heights, and prepare for a night of unapologetic decadence as the San Diego Gay Men’s Chorus presents “When in Rome”—a gala where the drama is high, the wine is flowing, and subtlety is left at the city gates.Hosted by the fabulous Jai Rodriguez, this is Rome as you’ve never seen it: part ancient empire, part disco inferno, and entirely too much—in the best way possible. Think glittering gladiators, scandalous senators, and more divas than you can fit in a chariot. If it’s extra, over-the-top, or just a little bit ridiculous, we’re saying sì, grazie!Indulge in delicious food worthy of the gods and goddesses, sip like Bacchus himself is judging your pour, and bask in show-stopping performances that are equal parts breathtaking and delightfully unhinged. Expect big voices, bold looks, fabulous raffle prizes, and enough camp to make Caesar clutch his pearls.The vibe? Decadent and dramatic.Join Jai Rodriguez and the San Diego Gay Men’s Chorus for a night when history gets a glitter makeover—and the only rule is: when in Rome… go all the way!
