Date Night Idea: Opera Memphis and Ciao Bella Dinner
Date Night Idea: Opera Memphis and Ciao Bella Dinner
What's better than this date night idea: attend an opera about a sexy jerk who makes everyone hate him and then gets what's coming to him? A date night where you also get some fun prizes and a dinner at Ciao Bella, of course.

In all seriousness: this Thursday and Saturday, Opera Memphis performs Don Giovanni, Mozart's famous opera version of "Don Juan", and it's going to be genuinely amazing. If you haven't had a chance to see/hear Memphis' very own opera company, know that the musicians and singers are incredibly talented, the sets and costumes are lovely, and you'll be glad you tried something new.
Tickets range from $33 - $74 depending on seats, and the show is at 7:30 p.m. at GPAC both nights. Don Giovanni is really more for adult audiences. If you do want to take your kids to the opera, Opera Memphis is putting on kid-friendly Hansel & Gretel in mid-January.
The Giveaway Part. (ended)

If you're a little strapped for cash but still want to take your sweetie out for a night of culture and delicious Italian food, no worries. Opera Memphis is giving away a pair of tickets, a bottle of wine and a pair of glasses, plus some snazzy masks, and Ciao Bella is offering a $50 gift card so you can enjoy your Italian opera after an Italian dinner.
How to win: All you have to do is leave me a comment on this post, telling me who you'll take on your date and what night you want to go. I'll pick a winner at random in 24 hours (Wednesday at 9:30ish) and update this post with their name.
The winner will be responsible for meeting me this week to pick up the prizes and for calling Opera Memphis to set up the tickets.
