The Metropolitan Opera Fall Gala

Last night was The Metropolitan Opera Fall Gala in NYC. What an amazing event. The opera was broadcast live in Lincoln Center Plaza and the place was buzzing both inside and out. After the most amazing performance by Anna Netrebko and the rest of the fantastic cast the guests headed to the tent where David Stark had worked his magic. The space glowed. The dinner started around 10 and the next time I looked at the time it was well after 1am. Mercedes Bass looked stunning as did Mrs Ziff. Also Peter Gelb's beautiful wife Keri-Lynn Wilson was there. She looked stunning in a dress designed by Zac Posen

New York City Ballet Fall Gala

Last Thursday night was the New York City Ballet gala and the premiere of the collaboration between Peter Martins and Sir Paul McCartney who wrote the music. Keeping it all in the family Stella designed the costumes.
I have never seen so many women in Blue all in the same place at once. They were inspired by the theme of the Ballet called Ocean's Kingdom.
The stars came out to support Sir Paul and in the crowd were Bon Jovi, Angelica Huston, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Seinfeld, to name just a few.
After the ballet the guest headed to the tent where they were served a vegan dinner that not only tasted good, was good for the planet.

The Metropolitan Opera Spring Gala

Tonight was the much anticipated opening of Le Comte Ory at the Met Opera.
The crowd was beautiful, many of the women were wearing gowns by Yves Saint Laurent.
There was a dinner held on the Balcony. The guests arrived early and had cocktails upstairs followed by dinner below. They then went in to enjoy the first act. Dessert followed during the intermission and then the guests returned to their seats for the remainder of the performance.
Mrs Ziff and Mrs Bass both looked amazing as did Claire Danes and Claudia Schiffer. I am always happy to see the always elegant Marlene Hess and her husband Jim Zirin.
Many thanks to all the staff who not only took great care of me, they also let me take their photos at the end of the night. Ladies you Rock... and you know who you are! To view all the photos please click on The Met Spring Gala Link
