To kick-off the Young Patronesses of the Opera’s 60th Anniversary “Diamonds and Divas” Gala, guests flocked to Rene Ruiz’s flagship store in Coral Gables for a night of fashion, fun, and fabulous entertainment. An opera performance by Danielle Krause hit a high note with the fashionable crowd as they toasted to the upcoming year. The YPO “Diamonds and Divas” Gala will be held November 7, 2015 at the Ritz-Carlton in Coconut Grove. The Gala chairs for the highly anticipated black-tie affair are co-presidents Barbara Reese and Debbie Campbell. Benefactors for the gala are Bunny Bastian, Trish and Dan Bell, Betty Brody, Brenda Nestor Castellano, and Swanee and Paul DiMare. Since 1956, YPO has been committed to offering expansive opera education programs to children, and supporting the Florida Grand Opera. For more information visit www.ypo-miami.org
