Have you thought about getting your friends together for brunch before the opera? Why not be guests of BLO Board member Francesca Carriuolo in her home, just minutes from the Shubert Theatre at Two Avery Street, for a catered brunch by the famous Ann Howard, owner of the 5-Star Restaurant Apricot's (Farmington, CT). This is good for Sunday, November 6, 2005 (the first Sunday performance of Boston Lyric's Opera's Lucie de Lammermoor). Details about the brunch will be in consultation with Francesca. Champagne included.
