THE SETTING: <\/strong>More than 400 guests, clad in black tie and a sea of elegant gowns, made their appearance at the Wortham Theater Center to salute the in-person return of the\u00a0Ballet\u00a0Ball\u00a0after two long years. This year\u2019s event was inspired by the glamour and elegance of George Balanchine\u2019s\u00a0ballet,\u00a0Jewels<\/em>. <\/em>As guests made their way into the lobby, the attendees admired and took photos in front of a beautiful custom wall crafted out of both painted and actual pointe shoes. During cocktail hour, guests sipped on libations and elixirs while perusing impressive silent auction items.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE STYLE: <\/strong>Richard Flowers of The Events Company\u00a0transformed the Grand Foyer of the Wortham Theater Center into a dazzling venue dripping with gemstones. The balconies of the Grand Foyer, adorned with statement necklaces, overlooked a stunning gemstone-shaped dance floor and tables decorated with vivid emerald tablecloths and ruby-red centerpieces. Once seated, guests indulged in a decadent dinner prepared by\u00a0Jackson and Company.\u00a0The night\u2019s first course featured a 50 Carat<\/em> salad, an homage to the\u00a0evening\u2019s theme, accompanied by lemon thyme lavosh bread. The feast continued with snapper topped with leek and kumquat emulsion saffron, poached fennel, Yellow Diamond<\/em> au gratin potatoes, and Romanesco. For dessert, guests delighted in a Jewelry Box<\/em>, comprised of a blondie dressed in white chocolate and caramel mousse with caramel-filled chocolate jewels. Following dinner, attendees crowded the dance floor and danced the night away to the sounds of\u00a0Gen 8 presented by Elan Artists.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE PURPOSE: <\/strong>The 2022\u00a0Ballet\u00a0Ball, chaired by Stephanie and Frank Tsuru, along with Kelli and John Weinzierl, raised nearly $1.4 million for the Houston\u00a0Ballet, led creatively by The Harris Masterson III Artistic Director, Stanton Welch. The organization\u2019s mission is to inspire a lasting love and appreciation for dance through artistic excellence, exhilarating performances, innovative choreography, and superb educational programs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
