Asmall group of guests gathered at The Ritz-Carlton St. Louis in Clayton in early March to mark the return to in-person events of Winter Opera Saint Louis at WOSL’s Royal Tea event. Hats and fascinators abounded, as did gorgeous dresses, as supporters of the organization enjoyed a Champagne toast and entertainment by tenor Nicholas Huff and baritone Robert Mellon.
