Organized by the Yale and Harvard alumni clubs
An indelible blend of music and theater: the story of Parisian artists, surviving only on friendship and the promise of love. Generously discounted tickets available through April 28. Preceded by dinner at Sakura.
If you've never attended an opera before, this is a great one to start with. Sung in Italian with English translations projected above the stage.

Join us for dinner beforehand at Sakura Resaurant, 350 St. Peter Street (at 4th Street) St. Paul, at 5 PM. We will order off of the menu, separate checks. There will be a short presentation from a member of the Opera. Then we'll walk over to the Ordway for this wonderful performance of one of opera's great classics.

Alternatively, you may wish to attend Opera Insights at 6:30 PM in Ordway Music Theater’s Marzitelli Foyer, led by Minnesota Opera Artistic Director Dale Johnson. Enjoy a free, fun and informative half-hour session which includes an overview of the characters and music, historical and cultural context for the opera and highlights to watch for during the show.
