­Insp­ired by Cincinnati Opera’s presentation of Puccini’s La Bohème in 2010, the Bal du Moulin Rouge transported guests from the Music Hall Ballroom to the glamorous and romantic Moulin Rouge. Swaths of red, pu­rple, and orange, glittering lights, and entertaining surprises throughout the evening helped to evoke the legendary Parisian cabaret.

At 10:30 p.m., the room transformed into a Parisian nightclub as the Late Night at the Moulin Rouge after-party began. Over 300 young professionals enjoyed cocktails, a late night buffet, and a DJ-spun dance floor.
