Debut Fantastique September 27, 2009

Debut Fantastique is Ballet Fantastique’s opening benefit reception and preview of the 2009-2010 season. The critically-acclaimed new Café 440 on Coburg Road will host the benefit and include an exclusive menu of lavish hors d’ouvres from Cafe 440 and chef Katherine Reeves. Treat yourself to melt-in-your-mouth French desserts by the all new Caramel French Patisserie. Or sip on tantalizing Northwest wine from Eola Hills Winery, Montinore Estate, and Giradet Winery. During the night, experience brilliant season preview vignettes by the dancers of Ballet Fantastique, with a welcome by Artistic Director Donna Marisa Bontrager. Glittering live jazz by David Heyer (trumpet/flugelhorn) and Ali Losik (piano) will be playing throughout the night. Valet parking and lovely things in themed baskets will be auctioned off for bidding.

Cocktail attire or join the drama: Black tie as the whimsy strikes you.

All proceeds benefit Ballet Fantastique’s ambitious, beautiful upcoming season of dance education and performance in our city.
