Just added

Tony Bennett has never had a chance to leave his heart at the Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts.

But last week the center announced two “just added” events for the 2010-11 season: Bennett and comedian Sarah Silverman, who also will be performing at the center for the first time.

Silverman, dubbed “the most outrageously funny woman alive” by Rolling Stone magazine, is scheduled to take the stage in Jackson Hall at 7 p.m. Sunday, April 10.

Bennett, whose “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” is a musical gold standard, is scheduled to perform at 8 p.m. Wednesday, May 25, also on the Jackson Hall stage.

Tickets for both “just added” events are set to go on sale on Monday, Feb. 14. The tickets will be available , or by visiting or calling the Mondavi Center box office, (530) 754-2787 or (866) 754-2787
