The Swan Lake Auction

On Friday, March 11, 2011, at the Academy of Music, guests walked down the red carpet with the stars of the Pennsylvania Ballet. They also had the opportunity to bid on one-of-a-kind items like the chance to watch a performance from the wings, or a walk-on role in “George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker.” Cocktails and a silent auction in the Academy’s exquisite ballroom were followed by dinner on stage with the dancers.
