More From the Opera Ball: Fancy Eats and Interactive Sweets
This year’s Washington National Opera Ball, held at the residence of the German ambassador, celebrated German food, culture, and music. But instead of spending money on flowers, organizers created more unique focal points, including artist demonstrations, lavish food, and fancy cakes. Here's a look at what stood out.
