Boston Lyric Opera’s annual gala is one of Boston’s premier theatrical events. This year the Grand Ballroom of the Fairmont Copley Plaza was transformed into the Latin Quarter of Paris for, La vie de bohème – A Night at Café Momus. The La bohème themed Gala featured sumptuous French bistro fare and an enchanting performance showcasing several of Boston’s young artists.
This annual celebration of opera benefits BLO’s Calderwood Audience Development Fund and over the years has supported a myriad of programs that introduce opera to schoolchildren and families, high school and college students and young professionals. Thank you to all of our guests for making this year’s event such a success!
Details about next year’s gala will be released in 2008.
