LAB Swan Lake Gala 2012

Los Angeles Ballet’s Swan Lake Gala 2012, which netted over $350,000 for LAB, was held on March 25th at the Montage Beverly Hills. With event design by Billy Bushkavitz, the Marquesa Ballroom transformed into a black and white celebration of Swan Lake, enhanced by guests who, by invitation request, had dressed in matching attire. The evening included an intimate performance of excerpts from Swan Lake, on a stage specially constructed for the event. The LAB dancers were later welcomed into the ballroom with a standing ovation and joined in a gourmet dinner of filet mignon and herb crusted halibut, with wines provided by Hafner Vineyard and Malibu Milk Vineyards. Celebrated sportscaster Jim Gray conducted a live auction for the Dancer Sponsorship and Pointe Shoe Funds. Each guest received a Jay Strongwater picture frame, graciously provided by Neiman Marcus Beverly Hills.
