Creative Black Tie and Costumes Welcome. The annual Opera Naples Gala is always a highlight of the southwest coast social season. This spectacular evening will include cocktails and a magnificent meal followed by special performances and dancing. Silent and live auctions will help raise funds for Opera Naples performances as well as the company’s important education and outreach programs. Don’t miss it! Tables for ten guests are available for purchase as are individual tickets. Following the Mardi Gras theme, there will be special tables for Dukes and Duchesses which will surround two royal tables one for the King and one for the Queen. The Royal couples will don regal robes, tiaras, and scepters, with which they will bless the guests. The identities of the Royal couples will only be revealed at the event, adding special surprises to the festivities. Golden tables will surround the royal court and all attendees will be delighted with special treats throughout the evening.
