On Friday night, June 5th, over 2,000 of Detroit’s trendiest, young professionals gathered at the Detroit Opera House for BravoBravo and broke last year’s attendance record. For those not in the know, BravoBravo is the fundraiser held by the young professionals’ section of the Michigan Opera Theatre’s Volunteer Association. Attendees were able to mingle while enjoying great food, drinks and entertainment. They were able to taste food from over 40 of the trendiest restaurants and listen to music from 10 local musical acts all while giving back to a great cause.

This sellout year was BravoBravo’s 10th anniversary. This year’s theme was the 1920s’ Jazz Age. As a result, many guests were dressed up in zoot suits and flapper outfits.  Speaking of zoot suits, the musical high point was musical act Cherry Poppin’ Daddies who had their hit “Zoot Suit Riot.” Local entertainment included local jazz groups, as well as Paxahau and Movement Festival (Detroit Electronic Music Festival) acts and ones sponsored by Fusicology.com.

For those of you that weren’t fortunate enough to attend, keep your eyes open for next year’s event. Be sure to bookmark BravoBravo’s site: www.bravobravo.org. Tickets sell out fast so be ready to act fast next year. If this year is any indication, next year will be even bigger and hotter than this year.
