Omaha Masters night at Madame Butterfly
UPDATED 5 Feb 2006....
Dear Friends,
As of today, there are 28 of us that are going to Madame Butterfly on 25 March. We have a block of 45 seats reserved, so there's room for a few more--but don't wait to sign-up if you think you're going!
For those of you that are going, please read fill out the registration form and mail it to Hal France. You'll find it under the News menu on the web site or you can use THIS LINK.

Dear Friends,
A group from the Omaha Masters Swim are threatening to go to an opera! I know itâ??s shocking, but your amazement will grow when I tell you that this plan was hatched in the menâ??s locker room!
Okay, breathe and I will explain.
The plan is to pick one of four performances of Madame Butterfly at the Orpheum Theatre and make a night of it. The night would include a beautiful dinner at Markâ??s in Dundee, co-owned by Masterâ??s standout Molly Romero and an informative preview presented by Lane 4 swimmer/conductor Hal France. Hopefully this will send everyone to the Orpheum contented and ready for a Night at the Opera.
The dates of the performances are March 17, 19, 22 and 25.
The locker room committee seemed to lean towards Wednesday March 22, but we could certainly entertain other possibilities.
The performances begin at 7:30, so dinner will begin at 5:15 at Markâ??s.
I will put a package together for all interested members that would include ticket, dinner and preview (the cheapest part of the package) for around $50.

It should be fun and I hope youâ??ll join us.
