REVIVE Los Angeles is an immersive Soaring ’20s-themed, circus-infused dinner show and nightlife experience, custom created for the opulent and historic Vibiana in Downtown Los Angeles. REVIVE is a creation of San Francisco’s nightlife and show empresarios, Vau de Vire Society, in collaboration with superstar Chef Neal Fraser, restaurateur Amy Knoll Fraser, and their team at Redbird | Vibiana.

An evening spent at REVIVE promises to inspire, rejuvenate, invigorate and awaken one’s every sense. The titillating visual spectacle, the culinary indulgence, the inspiring musical score, and the immersive and lavish environment will leave guests feeling that they’ve been an integral part of a feel-good movement that transcends any known dining, theater or nightlife experience.

Guests are first treated to a reception in the Vibiana Courtyard where they’ll indulge in an array of curated delicacies and libations amidst a gallery of living art and era-centric live music. Performers and creatively adorned guests complete this enchanted wonderland. Once the Cathedral doors open, guests step into an opulent past where ALL are VIPs, dining upon the performance stages, immersed in a projection-mapped environment for their remaining four courses of decadence.

The Performers:
VAU DE VIRE SOCIETY

Spawned from the depths of the San Francisco Bay Area’s thriving circus and dance subcultures, Vau de Vire Society has ravaged and redefined live entertainment for more than 20 years, causing jaws to drop in awe and garnering admiration around the world. This avant-cabaret collective consists of classically trained dancers, some of the nation’s most acclaimed acrobats, aerial artists, contortionists, and circus sideshow acts, an array of unique fire performers, a bevy of gifted thespians, and a barrage of the most enticing go-go’s.

The Location:
VIBIANA

Located in downtown Los Angeles, Redbird is the Frasers’ flagship restaurant where Chef Fraser showcases his signature sensibility of refined yet approachable modern American cuisine, influenced by the city’s multitude of cultures. Carved into one of the city’s most historic architectural gems, inside the former rectory building of Vibiana (the cathedral-turned-event venue), Redbird is singular, timeless and “blissfully grown-up.” The restaurant has received many accolades including a coveted spot on Los Angeles Times‘ Jonathan Gold’s 101 Best Restaurant List.

Vibiana with its Italian Baroque inspired interiors and lush, expansive gardens was originally built as the Cathedral of St. Vibiana in 1876. The luxurious and architecturally stunning space is now host to all types of events large and small. A gilded foyer leads into the main hall where the baroque columns that frame the room reach 45 feet upward to the ornate arched ceilings. Layers of the century old marble define the grand stage. During the day, the space is illuminated with light that pours in from the grand windows that offer up the skyline of the city. At night the space is transformed. The neutral walls can be splashed in every imaginable color of light, somber or spectacular, suitable for any palette.
