The Crystal Gala

The Sarasota Ballet’s Crystal Gala, honoring Iain Webb’s 15th Season as Director, took place on Sunday, May 1, 2022. The evening began at the Sarasota Opera House with a curated performance by The Sarasota Ballet, complete with a guest appearance of Director, Iain Webb, himself in Elite Syncopations’ Cataract Rag. Gala guests then made their way to the Circus Arts Conservatory where they enjoyed an elegant dinner catered by Michael’s on East. The evening concluded on the dance floor with desserts & dancing. We send our sincerest thanks to the incredible patrons and community partners who helped make The Crystal Gala an evening to remember.
