Florida Grand Opera Holiday Party

Florida Grand Opera Holiday Party was held in Ft. Lauderdale at the center seen below. Under the guidance of a staff of working professionals, FGO Young Artists work with renowned artists and teachers from every aspect of the world of opera while gaining valuable mainstage performance experiences.
Dan Hathcock and I ran into Olga Melin at the Darley Horse Farm Race and Cocktail Event in Ocala, Florida. We caught up on times past and began a relationship once again.Olga loved our decor and recommended that we provide decor for the holiday party.
Shimmering crystals with white lilies greeted the arriving guests as cocktails were sipped before dinner. Dan loved meeting Sonja Zuckerman, admired her turban and found out that she serves on the national board of directors for the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation. We are annual sponsors of the Cure Ball held in Jacksonville, providing full decor for their themed events.

We enjoyed meeting Gina Melin, of Milieu International, as well as Kevin Berlin, a renowned artist who happened to be in town.

Isa Leibowitz was fabulous to work with. We loved meeting Lady Blanka Rosensteil and a couple of months later we handled the decor for the Polonaise Ball (event is posted on our blog).


We were complimented on the decor. Dinner was delightful and we enjoyed listening to the artists and spending the evening with a new group of "friends".
