BravoBravo!, voted the best annual party by Detroit Young Professionals, is at it again!
Now in its 13th year, this year’s Carnivale-inspired event is gearing up to be another unforgettable experience. Join us for an explosion of color, music, and revelry as we celebrate and support the Michigan Opera Theatre’s artistic and educational outreach endeavors throughout the year.
BravoBravo! has raised over $1,000,000 since its inception, we hope 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 stage and an amazing outdoor entertainment space, with more than 40 restaurants, beverage companies, corporate sponsors, in-kind donors and musicians! 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!
