for 49 consecutive years, will once again take center stage
on Saturday, October 24, 2009 at the Crowne Plaza, downtown
Toledo. Cocktails at 6:30pm, Dinner at 8:00pm.
This lovely black tie event raises
approximately 10% of the
Opera’s annual income making the Sapphire Ball the single
most important fundraising activity in support of Toledo Opera’s
mission: to produce opera performances of the highest quality
here in northwest Ohio and to offer educational programming
that reaches 20,000 school children each year.
The Ball will feature a fabulous gourmet
dinner: Pan-Seared Miso Brined Sea Bass; Roasted Rare
Beef Tenderloin with Sweet Port Jus; and Roasted Portabella,
Tomato & Boursin Stack over Sweet Corn Polenta. A live
auction and dancing will follow. The evening highlight will
be a musical interlude performed by the Toledo Opera cast of Falstaff which
opens the opera season on Saturday, November 7th.
