On February 22, 2025, Houston Ballet welcomed over 500 guests to the Wortham Theater Center, where patrons and guests alike were transported to Act II of Raymonda, a world premiere by Artistic Director Stanton Welch AM. The Grand Foyer, transformed by Richard Flowers and The Events Company, mirrored the imposing Peacock Ballroom of Welch’s opulent adaptation of Raymonda. The black-tie evening included a luxury silent auction, seated dinner, and of course, a legendary dance floor. Corps de Ballet dancers surprised the crowd with a performance to Harry Styles’ “Golden” choreographed by demi-soloist Jack Wolff featuring Lauren Anderson.

The 2025 Houston Ballet Ball raised more than $1.65 million to support the Ballet’s mission. Thank you to everyone who supported the event, and special thanks to our Ball Co-Chairs Kristy & Chris Bradshaw and Melissa Juneau and Honorees Deborah & Edward Koehler.
