Since its inception in 1965, the Petroushka Ball has grown into one of New York's most important Russian-American events, attended by over 700 guests representing the business, artistic and diplomatic elite. Past Petroushka Ball events featured leading soloists of the Metropolitan Opera, the American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, Bolshoi Theater and other companies.
All net proceeds from the 46th Petroushka Ball will be directed towards the Russian Children's Welfare Society (RCWS) charitable programs.
