Orchestra/Opera

Item Description

Enjoy an amazing night out at the opera with two tickets to La Bohème or South Pacific by the St. Petersburg Opera Company!

La Bohème is one of the most beautiful love stories ever told. Sung in Italian with English surtitles, Puccini's score is filled with familiar, soaring melodies - there's a reason this opera has been an audience favorite since it was premiered in 1896. La Bohème will be performed June 3, 5 and 7, 2016.

South Pacific is one of the most beloved musicals of all time. The score, by Rodgers and Hammerstein, includes such American standards as "I'm in Love with a Wonderful Guy," "Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair" and "Some Enchanted Evening." South Pacific will be performed July 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 10, 2016.

The St. Petersburg Opera produces professional, fully-staged operas in the historic, 880-seat Palladium Theater in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida, as well as other venues in the Tampa Bay area.
