A Small Gift for our Friends - Happy Holiday!


You made it.

You’re on your way home.

Memorial Day weekend started just a minute ago at 5:01pm, and there’s only one thing standing between you and the warm, fuzzy sun of Cape Cod—2 ½ hours in a cramped car with a grandkid or two in tow and your son-in-law calling every five minutes to find out if-you’re-here-yet-and-can-you-please-pick-up-sunscreen-and-whale-watch-tickets-on-your-way-ok-thnx-bi.


We thought you could use a little TLC en route!

Behold, BLO’s Vacay Survival, err… Relaxation Kit.




It features selections from BLO’s upcoming 2012/13 Season, including Mozart’s comic gem Così Fan Tutte, Wagner’s The Flying Dutchman, and Puccini’s heart-wrenching tragedy Madama Butterfly.
