Special Events
At Ballet Pensacola, we believe every production deserves a celebration. That’s why we create unique special events to accompany each performance in our season, offering audiences an opportunity to engage more deeply with the art, the artists, and the community that surrounds them. From elegant receptions and themed galas to family-friendly gatherings and behind-the-scenes experiences, each event is thoughtfully designed to enhance your connection to the performance. Join us as we celebrate the magic of ballet, on and off the stage.
The Rose & Dagger Experience
April 16, 2026
The Rooftop / 5pm
The Rose & Dagger Experience transforms the rooftop of the Clark Family Cultural Center into an evening of romance, wit, and theatrical elegance in celebration of Romeo & Juliet.
This immersive pre-show affair blends live artistry with playful Shakespearean charm, welcoming guests with musical accompaniment from a featured singer and pianist and humorous Elizabethan-style poetry before the auction begins.
Thoughtfully curated décor and interactive touches, on-demand poetic pamphlets, caricature sketches, and light improvisational performances, invite participation throughout the evening. A fencing demonstration offers a dramatic flourish befitting the timeless tale of love and rivalry. Guests are transported to the spirit of the 16th-century Renaissance through rustic, star-crossed fare and curated wines. This one-of-a-kind event unites art, performance, and philanthropy under the stars.
Tickets - $100
Please note: Tickets to the Romeo & Juliet performance are sold separately from this event.
The Rose & Dagger Event is for ages 21+.
