Where Soirée began.

The inaugural evening, at the Metropolitan Opera House.

Soirée's inaugural evening at the Metropolitan Opera House

July 17, 2025 · Lincoln Center

Carve this space.

An evening with American Ballet Theatre's Swan Lake, starring Calvin Royal III as Prince Siegfried, followed by a private backstage tour of one of the world's most iconic stages. More than a night at the ballet: a moment where Black artistry stood at the center, a new community gathered, and a tradition began.
