Valentine’s Day Resources

It’s time to treat your loved one, so let us help plan your February 14th celebrations…

SOME FLOWER TIPS

– Place your order early.
– Order flowers from a florist near your delivery location, not near you (if those are two different places)!
– Provide detailed delivery information (more is better).
– Ask the florist for suggestions; that may save you time, money & energy.
– Provide an acknowledgement address even if they don’t ask you for one – your recipient may receive multiple deliveries!

Music

The Minnesota Opera – The Grapes of Wrath

Showing on Feb 10, 13, 15, 17, 18 at the Ordway
An EPIC new American opera, The Grapes of Wrath, by composer Ricky Ian Gordon and librettist Michael Korie, adapts the John Steinbeck classic in an unforgettable operatic staging that will resonate in the hearts of all who search for the AMERICAN DREAM. Director Eric Simonson recreates the nostalgia and harsh reality of the 1930s dustbowl days, tracing the Joad family’s journey from the ruin of their Oklahoma farm to the false promise of a better life in California. www.mnopera.org

The St. Paul Chamber Orchestra – Aimard Plays Mozart
Birds – for obvious reasons – have inspired composers probably since the dawn of musical time. Haydn’s Hen might be a homely bird scratching in the earth, but she is in exotic company with the brilliantly colored aviary that Messiaen evokes. www.thespco.org

Minnesota Orchestra

At Carnegie Hall Feb 14th, 8pm, Symphony number 4 and 5. www.minnesotaorchestra.org

Sporting Events

Minnesota Timberwolves

vs. Denver Nuggets at Target Center, 7pm
