Lyric Opera Circle – Lyric Opera Ball, “Una Notte a Roma”

Loews Kansas City Hotel will be the site for the Lyric Opera Circle’s Lyric Opera Ball, “Una Notte a Roma,” which will be held on April 9th. Proceeds from the event are earmarked for the upcoming production of Tosca. Partygoers will enjoy a silent auction, dinner, dancing, and beautiful decor which will feature elements reminiscent of ancient Roman architecture. The music? Italian, of course!
