SUMMERTIME IN THE SOUTH IS GONNA BE A SCORCHER!




George Gershwin
Join us on Saturday, May 1st, as we celebrate Virginia Opera's 35th anniversary with a performance of The Gershwin's magnificent
"Porgy and Bess."

The BRMC has reserved a limited number of prime orchestra seats at the historic Carpenter Theatre.Recently fully renovated, it features spacious seats and state-of-the-art acoustics.

Under the artistic leadership of Maestro Peter Mark, Virginia Opera has gained nationwide recognition for its impressive and innovative productions. This year also marks the 75th anniversary of "Porgy and Bess" and we're sure you'll truly enjoy this timeless classic.

Don't know much about Opera?? Not to worry!! Our special guest speaker for the April 1st meeting of the BRMC will be Dr. Glenn Winters, Virgina Opera's Community Outreach Director. Dr. Winters is a popular speaker at the Chesterfield Lifelong Learning Institute, and has a great track record in converting opera skeptics into opera lovers.

Don't worry about driving (or parking) because a private chartered bus will depart Market Square at 7pm (8pm performance) and will return following the show. The total cost, INCLUDING TRANSPORTATION, is only $75 per person.
