HIGH NOTES: 300 guests enjoyed the show from their $1,000-a-pop seats at the Kennedy Center Opera House, then shuttled to the Italian Embassy for dinner and dancing, underwritten by Rolex. OPERATIC HOME RUN: Black-tie and bejeweled patrons didn’t finish dinner untill well past midnight, although everyone shared in artistic director Placido Domingo’s exultation over the simulcast screening of La Traviata at Nationals Park before an audience of 15,000. THE CAST: Soprano Elizabeth Futral, director Marta Domingo, Justices Anthony Kennedy and Samuel Alito, dinner chair Mae Haney Grennan, executive director Mark Weinstein, and a bevy of ambassadors from of Afghanistan, France, Britain, Japan, Spain, Korea, Morocco, Mexico, Finland, Peru, and Brazil.

Location: Vineyard Vines
WL SPONSORED – Photos by Tony Powell

THE EVENT: The Young & The Guest List crowd donned sun dresses and pastel neckties to celebrate this popular preppy label’s Georgetown debut. Founders and part-time Martha’s Vineyard residents Shep and Ian Murray presided over a full house until 10 p.m., when the party continued at – where else? – Smith Point. THE SCENE: Buzz was focused on 31 year-old naval officer Andy Baldwin, star of the 2007 season of ABC’s hit The Bachelor, and a recent Washington transplant. Baldwin dressed the part in a pale blue blazer, and seemed at ease chatting with young ladies (including a striking set of identical twins). THE GUESTS: Becca Glover, Caroline Stouffer, Costa Gogos, Marybeth Coleman, Maisie Branson, Sally Lynch, Wright Sigmund, Crosby and Schuyler Haynes, Roby Penn, Hadley Gamble, Buck Sexton, and Ashlee Reid.
