Florida Grand Opera is celebrating the start of the 72nd opera season with its annual gala: “An Evening at the Café Momus”. Held at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County, this glamorous, themed evening will follow the opening night performance of Puccini’s La bohème on November 17, 2012, featuring stars Ailyn Pérez and Arturo Chacón-Cruz.

Step into the world of La bohème as the Lynn Wolfson Stage is transformed into Café Momus, a well-known gathering place of bohemian life for artists and writers in 19th century Paris.
Gala guests will also enjoy an elegant pre-performance VIP cocktail reception and silent auction and mingle with the opera’s cast, including the stars of the evening: Mexican-American soprano Ailyn Pérez and Mexican tenor Arturo Chacón-Cruz.
Pérez returns to FGO following a recent feature in Vanity Fair Magazine and the honor of receiving the 2012 Richard Tucker Award. Chacón-Cruz comes to FGO once again in a role he has made his signature and performed with top companies worldwide.
