BRAVO! CLUB Opening Night Gala
Friday, September 11, 2009

Indulge your senses with the impassioned arias, lusty choruses and revolutionary impulses of Verdi’s Il Trovatore. This epic tale of a corrupt Count, a dashing warrior and a Gypsy woman devoted to avenging her mother’s wrongful death weaves together themes of destiny, desire and revenge propelled forward by an irresistible stream of melody in this exciting cliff-hanger.

Please join us for BRAVO! CLUB’s 18th annual black-tie Opening Night Gala as we indulge in a night of classical opera and kick off another fabulous year with San Francisco Opera. A memorable night of revelry and romance, tarot card readings and flamenco will keep things caliente!

Nicola Luisotti makes his debut as San Francisco Opera’s music director with this fast-paced audience favorite. Baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky, whose beautiful tone and emotional intensity thrilled gala audiences in last fall’s Simon Boccanegra, heads a charismatic cast featuring tenor Marco Berti, mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe and soprano Sondra Radvanovsky.
