Bravo Productions Long Beach, California Bravo staged the weeklong grand opening events for Southern California's latest attraction, the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. Events included the public opening ceremony and membership preview, the official dedication and the inaugural gala. Bravo was challenged with designing the event while the facility was under construction: Exhibits had not been installed, and an 85-foot-long blue whale had not yet been suspended from the ceiling.
