The One Gala

For the first time, Colorado Ballet’s The One Gala sold out several months before anticipated! This annual event will take place at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in the Denver Performing Arts Complex on Thursday, April 17, 2025. The One Gala celebrates the art form of ballet and supports the organization’s artistic and educational initiatives which significantly impact the community and elevate Denver’s thriving and vibrant cultural scene. This incredible milestone of selling out far in advance serves as a testament to the generous supporters of Colorado Ballet who have contributed to the organization’s growth and success over the years.

“We are exceedingly grateful for the enthusiasm our loyal community continues to show by supporting Colorado Ballet at The One Gala,” shared Executive Director Sameed Afghani. “Together, we’ve created something truly special—a legacy of artistry and elegance that creates a lasting impact in Colorado.”

The One Gala will once again feature the spectacular Colorado Ballet Wish Tree, custom designed and created by Handsome Little Devils.

“While tickets and tables for this event are sold out, we invite our community to join us and celebrate this milestone by making a gift to the Wish Tree,” explained Artistic Director Gil Boggs.

This beautiful symbol displays our donors’ generosity by representing all the branches of our organization’s growth, helping us reach new heights of artistic excellence in our community and beyond.

Wish Tree Areas of Giving for 2025 include: Area of Greatest Need, Education & Community Engagement, Dancer Wellness in honor of Asuka Sasaki, Colorado Ballet Academy Scholarships in honor of Sean Omandam, Student Matinee Transportation, and Expanding The Nutcracker Orchestra.
