Both longstanding supporters and newcomers toasted to the Russian Children�s Welfare Society�s 90th birthday and rejoiced in the night�s festivities.</p>
<p>The Ball was not only a uniquely elegant affair but also a surprisingly electric one, with traditional Russian and gypsy dances going well into the morning hours to the sound of vibrant folk and balalaika music. Among the highlights of the night was a set of performances from Metropolitan Opera�s baritone Rodion Pogossov and soprano Olga Mykytenko. Rodion delighted guests with a theatrical rendition of the song Soliloquy from Carousel in addition to a riveting piece from Rossini�s Il Barbiere di Siviglia. Olga dazzled with an aria from Pagliacci and a Tchaikovsky�s romance before joining forces with Rodion for a stirring duet from Pagliacci. <a href="index.html">Read more</a></p>
