2026 Spring Gala

Saturday May 9, 2026

Pack your bags for an Italian Holiday! Inspired by our 2026 production of A Light in the Piazza, this unforgettable evening will transport you to the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany, celebrating Opera Theatre’s rich legacy and our next 50 years. At Edward Jones’ Headquarters – North Campus in Maryland Heights, guests will enjoy cocktails, dinner, and special guest appearances.  

Attire is vintage-inspired elegance, black-tie optional — channel your favorite mid-century movie star, like Sidney Poitier, Lena Horne, Dorothy Dandridge, Harry Belafonte, and more! 

Mailed invitations and additional information coming soon. For questions or early registration, contact Tori Rezek at trezek@opera-stl.org or (314) 963-4223.
