Queen of Hearts 64th Queen of Hearts Ball

As per gracious and generous tradition, the 64th Queen of Hearts Ball crowned an outstanding “royal” and several “princesses” who devote time and talent to dozens of St. Petersburg nonprofits. Queen Rebecca Malowany was selected for her service to Infinity and Boley Angels while her philanthropic Queen’s Court earned their nominations for many other worthy causes. Between dinner, dancing and auctions Feb. 25 at the Hilton Carillon Park Hotel, gala co-chairpersons Donna Cothron and Donna Mainguth took the time to recognize the 63 previous queens and 438 former princesses, including Mary Wyatt Allen, 90, the most senior queen. As always, two beneficiary charities share all the funds raised during the event. This year it was Suncoast Voices for Children and the SPCA Tampa Bay. — Amy

Opera Tampa Carnevale, Grand Gala

Vocal virtuosity and versatility inspired an elegant Venetian Carnevale for Opera Tampa’s annual Grand Gala, an intimate dinner and concert on the Morsani Hall stage at the David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts. Chairperson Léa Lavoie Davis and vice chairperson Kelley Cato Juneau hosted the gala, which featured performances by Opera Tampa principals Jean Carlos and Vanessa Rodriguez and the 2021 D’Angelo Competition winners to entertain nearly 200 guests, including Cato’s Carnevale Crew, a table of Juneau’s opera buff friends, many masked and costumed for a masquerade ball. Auction bids soared like a mezzo-soprano, including $10,500 for a Tuscany travel experience for four guests. Bravos resounded as nearly $100,000 was raised for Opera Tampa productions before the black-tie affair concluded with desserts and dancing in the Morsani lobby. — Amy Scherzer, photos courtesy of Marc Edwards
