The 2026 Ballet Ball is now sold out. We are deeply grateful for the incredible support of our community and invite you to consider supporting the event through a donation. All proceeds directly support Houston Ballet’s mission to inspire a lasting love and appreciation for dance.
Raising the Barre
SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 2026
Houston Ballet invites you to Raising the Barre, a colorful springtime tradition unlike any other. Company dancers and top Houston chefs pair up to execute a multi-course menu inspired by their unique backgrounds and tastes. The pairs will mix and mingle with guests throughout the evening as they share the story behind their designed course.
Opening Night Onstage Dinner
On behalf of Houston Ballet, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Chairmen Shara and Kent Schaffer, Jim Nelson, and all who joined us for Opening Night Onstage Dinner.
Houston Ballet presents three signature special events, each offering a unique opportunity to connect with patrons, meet the dancers, and celebrate the company, all while supporting the Ballet’s mission to inspire a lasting love and appreciation for dance.
