The inaugural Bal Masqué Gala ushered in a magical evening of glittering masks, sweeping gowns and handsome tuxedos on stage and off at the Sarasota Opera House this past Saturday. A stunning aerial performance by members of the Circus Arts Conservatory dazzled guests as they entered the space. Viewed from the Opera House mezzanines, the acrobats and Sarasota Orchestra brass quintet set the mood for an enchanting evening with additional performances by Fuzion Dance Artists, Jami G and the Sarasota Cuban Ballet. Guests enjoyed an assortment of enticing bites prepared by Fête catering. The Bijou Bellini, Limone Rosmarino, and Tempesta Perfetta signature cocktails featured Tito’s Handmade Vodka and Siesta Key Rums. Beautiful works of art filled the silent auction tables featuring artists Olan Quattro and Michele Penn. Bal Masque photos are online at CLICKSRQ,  the magazine's online gallery.
