The annual gala held at Old Warson Country Club raises funds to support the artists and performances of Winter Opera. The nonprofit’s mission is to provide St. Louis with world-class operatic performances by nationally and internationally known artists, as well as local ones, during the winter months. It also strengthens the local creative community year-round through outreach programs and workshops. [VIP Guests] Founder Gina Galati, board president Nancy Pillsbury.
