Wine and beer are included as part of the price of your ticket package and available from our private bar. Come join the Ivy+ Group to enjoy an evening of friendship, intellectual pursuit, and opera. Resident Choreographer Elizabeth Wistrich has created a lavish production of Shakespeare’s epic tale Romeo and Juliet – ballet storytelling at its best. In the ballet, two teenagers from warring families meet, fall in love and rush headlong towards their romantic destiny. The magnificent sets and costumes evoke Renaissance Italy and Sergei Prokofiev’s lush score brings this classic love story thrillingly to life. The reception will feature a Capulet and Montague style cheese and wine theme. It should be a wonderful evening of mingling and entertainment.
