Singer Island Attractions – CityPlace in West Palm Beach Author: Lauren Apr 16

Character can be found in more places than those on a stroll at the beach, and Hilton Singer Island Resort isn’t the only place “singing” the praises of CityPlace in West Palm Beach.

We’re a big fan of fun and fashion, and what’s better than a convenient package of both in the same place?

CityPlace in West Palm Beach, Florida

CityPlace, while reminiscent of Italian town centers, has as much a modern twist as it does history. Harriet Himmel Theater hosts many events, even those booked privately! Originally the First United Methodist Church, the three-story open-truss and cypress stake in time is a phenomenal addition to this bustling city center reaching the hearts of history buffs and party planners. Not to mention a few unusual programs courtesy of the local companies.

Palm Beach County’s biggest boasting subject draws travelers and locals alike with a variety of over 60 shops from Barnes & Noble to Armani Exchange, all peppered in among 25 restaurants serving up Japanese, American, Italian and seafood (shocker!). It’s all delicious, but if you have a splurge in mind, the Ruth’s Chris Steak House is a guest favorite.

There’s more – and our favorite part? A constantly updating and expanding calendar of live entertainment in the grandeur of the plaza! Improv comedy troupes and soloists, jazz bands and feature parties are only a smidge of what you’ll find at CityPlace. While sampling super cuisine, you can learn to cook it too with regular technique classes hosted by the folks from Williams-Sonoma.

Be sure you don’t miss more sales and specials (we just love little AND big finds to share) offered by local businesses while booking your getaway stay on Singer Island.

One Opera in One Hour | Harriet Himmel Theatre Author: Steven Feb 24

Head over to the Harriet Himmel Theatre at CityPlace in downtown West Palm Beach on March 7th for an evening of free entertainment like you’ve never seen before. The esteemed Palm Beach Opera is presenting the third and final show in its utterly unique “One Opera in One Hour” series.

That’s right! An entire opera, rich with passion, intrigue, majesty and music, is presented for free in only one hour in the beautiful Harriet Himmel Theatre. The incredible works are much abridged, of course, but that does nothing to hamper the magic. A spoken introduction prepares the audience for the unusual format and provides fascinating information to set the scene. This is followed by musical highlights presented by the Palm Beach Opera’s masterful resident artists. Staging is minimal, allowing the players to delve deeper than ever into the raw power of the work.

For their final selection, the Palm Beach Opera presents Giacomo Puccini’s La Bohéme, the stirring tale of a lively seamstress’s torrid love affair with a Bohemian poet and the sad ways in which it wasn’t meant to be. It’s not too far removed from Moulin Rouge!.

This one-night-only show will be held at the Harriet Himmel Theatre on March 7, 2009 at 9:00 p.m. Admission is free, though you can purchase select seating for a $15 donation. Learn more about it here.

A little La Bohéme to get you in the mood:
