| "Gateway to Ancient China" themes the Ballet San Jose Silicon Valley's March 5, 2005, gala. The event will take place at the Dolce Hayes Mansion. Accordingly, the management of the facility hosted a pre-gala cocktail reception at the mansion Sept. 28. Many guests took a cue from the gala theme when choosing their attire. The Chinese theme was chosen for the gala in honor of the February world première of a new ballet by Dennis Nahat. |
