New Orleans Opera Association 2023 Ball

The Women's Guild of the New Orleans Opera Association are throwing another grand party in the name of opera—this year, with a Tennessee Williams-inspired theme of "A Streetcar Named Desire". The evening kicks off with a Patron Party featuring the soulful music of Anaïs St. John at Rosie's on the Roof at 6 pm, followed by the big event at 7 pm at the Higgins Hotel's Arcadia Ballroom. The main affair will include a seated dinner, party music by the BRW Band, and silent and live auctions hosted by Marshall Harris. Black tie preferred. $250 general admission, $350 for a patron ticket. neworleansopera.org.
