The US Grant Hotel

Celebrate the Opening Night of Puccini’s La bohème and the launch of San Diego Opera’s 45th season in the grand style and elegant splendor of 19th century Paris.

The festivities begin at 5:30pm with a black-tie Pre-Opera Reception at the luxurious and historic US Grant Hotel. We then move to the Civic Theatre for San Diego Opera’s production of Puccini’s exquisite opera La Bohème. During intermission, Gala guests enter the exclusive Bravissimo Patron Tent for refreshments and, after the final bow, dine and dance with the stars at a spectacular Post-Opera Cast Party at The US Grant Hotel.
