If you’re still looking for something to do this weekend, Dez has a few last minute ideas.

The Minnesota Opera: La Boheme
It’s been called one of the world’s most popular operas and is perfect for first time opera goers.  La Boheme is the opera that inspired the hit musical Rent – and just like the famous musical, the opera is about romance and the bonds of friendship.  The show opens on Saturday and performances run through Sunday, March 14th.  Tickets start at $35.  For more information, click here.
