Lyric Opera Circle – Lyric Opera Ball 2022, “Una Notte a Roma”

Loews Kansas City Hotel was the site for the Lyric Opera Circle’s Lyric Opera Ball 2022, “Una Notte a Roma.” Gigi Rose served as chairman of the April 9th event. Cocktails, a silent auction, and dinner (served in courses, as in Rome) were on the agenda. There were performances by resident artists from the Lyric Opera of Kansas City, with musical selections sung in Italian, as well as strolling musicians – a violinist and an accordionist. In addition, there was dancing to the tunes of Lost Wax.
