On Friday, March 8, I attended the Junior Patrons Art and Arias event at the Birmingham Museum of Art. It was a fabulous evening filled with delicious food and mesmerizing performances. The inspiring night ended with a tour of the extraordinary European Arts Collection on display at BMA.
“Amici–Young Friends of the Opera Birmingham is a patrons group with the mission of supporting and promoting Opera Birmingham. Amici, which is the Italian word for ‘friend,’ is open to all opera lovers ages twenty-one to forty-five…Enjoying the opera has never been so easy,” www.operabirmingham.org
“There may be no opera more susceptible to interpretation and reinterpretation than The Magic Flute,” http://www.al.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2013/03/opera_birmingham_channeling_th.html
The Opera Birmingham will be performing its 1960’s version of The Magic Flute at the Wright Center, Samford University from March 15-March 17. For more details, click here.

Opera Birmingham’s showcase at the BMA was a wonderful experience that the VIP loved! I think I may have developed a new love for Opera!
