    BravoBravo!, voted the best annual party by Detroit Young Professionals, is at it again!
    Now in its 13th run, this year’s Carnival-inspired event is gearing up to be another unforgettable experience.  Join us for an explosion of colour, music, revelry, and creativity as we celebrate and support the Michigan Opera Theatre’s artistic and educational outreach endeavors throughout the year. 
    Sold out for the past four years, we’re confident we’ll do it again! Having raised over $1,000,000 since its inception, we plan to raise another $250,000 this year with the support of our dedicated sponsors and patrons. This much-needed funding also supports the improvement and sustainability of the Detroit Opera House.
    Each year BravoBravo! packs three levels of the Detroit Opera House, including the Opera House stage, and an amazing outdoor entertainment space with more than 40 restaurateurs, beverage companies, corporate sponsors, in-kind donors and musicians for a fun-filled night!  There is something for everyone and there is nothing like it in the City of Detroit.  Help us Color the Night on June 8, 2012!!!

    Book your room today with the luxurious Westin Book Cadillac Detroit at our special BravoBravo! rate.
