Florida Grand Opera’s 2026 Gala, Prince Orlofsky’s Ball, offers guests a once-in-a-lifetime experience—an evening where history, glamour, and art converge on stage. Following the dazzling opening night performance of Die Fledermaus, guests will step directly into the story itself—onto the grand Art Deco set, newly reclaimed and lovingly refurbished to make Miami its permanent home. Set in the opulent world of the 1920s, this fully immersive masquerade at the Palace of Prince Orlofsky promises to surprise and delight, Miami-style, as guests celebrate amid champagne towers, mirrored elegance, and the vibrant spirit of a city reborn in art and song.

Florida Grand Opera and the 2026 Gala Committee invite you to join us for the gala event of the season—an unforgettable evening celebrating the legacy and future of the oldest arts institution in South Florida. Be part of this extraordinary new chapter for Florida Grand Opera as we come together in support of our mission to inspire, connect, and elevate through the power of music and the human voice.

Florida Grand Opera stands at the heart of South Florida’s cultural identity — a gateway through which opera’s universal language resonates with both our local and global communities. This is the new FGO: bold in vision, expansive in reach, and deeply attuned to the needs of our time. Beyond our MainStage performances, our mission is brought to life through five core program areas that educate, inspire, and connect—advancing artistic excellence while positioning opera as a catalyst for healing, innovation, and cultural evolution. This is a defining moment for the future of opera. Join us in a vision that transcends the stage and shapes the next chapter of FGO.

Below are just some of our current sponsors and awardees who have graciously decided to contribute to FGO’s advancement and gala this year!
