Feeling like a delightful “springtime in Paris” evening, the Lyric Opera Ball, “A Toast to Opera,”had guests swooning over the gorgeous decor by Studio Dan Meiners. Partygoers enjoyed an auction, a delectable dinner, a performance by the Lyric Opera of Kansas City Resident and Apprentice artists, and dancing to the music of Lost Wax. The April 20th event, which was held at the Muehlebach Tower of the Kansas City Marriott Downtown, celebrated the rich history and enduring beauty of opera. Here’s a toast to Sharon Barry and Deanna Diebolt, Ball co-chairmen!
