Event co-chairs Russell and Elise Joseph, honoree Stanton Welch, and co-chairs Jennifer and Christopher Laporte and Phoebe and Bobby Tudor enjoyed Houston Ballet’s Opening Night Onstage Dinner at the Wortham Theater Center. The annual event celebrated the opening of the company’s 2023-2024 season and welcomed more than 220 guests for dinner and a performance of John Neumeier’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, based on Shakespeare’s romantic comedy. The event raised a record-breaking $250,000 for Houston Ballet. Between the performance and dinner, guests gathered in the Orchestra for a presentation by Houston Ballet executive director Jim Nelson recognizing Stanton Welch for his 20th anniversary with Houston Ballet.
