Miami, FL – October 23, 2021 – The Young Patronesses of the Opera (YPO) haunted the Coral Gables Museum for its annual fundraiser on October 23rd. A Halloween Bash was a huge financial success thanks to its many sponsors: Eva and Harri Kulovaara, Linda and Paul Sugrue, Deborah and James Davidson, Susan Abraham, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, Selecta Magazine (in-kind), Montica Jewelry, JCG Jewelry, and Rodez Art Gallery.
YPO’s President, Carolina Friedhoff, led a talented group of gala chairs – Nicole Acosta, Sanela Ebbeskov Jankovic, Susan Feldman, Linda Neider Sugrue, and Rebecca Spinale – to create a spooktacular evening of outrageous costumes, dancing to the fantastic DJ Javi D, elaborate silent auction, and a dinner fit for witches. The packed house was regaled by entertainment performed by 10 dynamic opera singers from New World School of the Arts Voice Department (@OPERAtionlyric). The evening was capped off with a performance of Libiamo ne’lieti calici . . . a beautiful ending to a rollicking evening!
