Texas Ballet Theater to Launch New Stanley Korshak Partnership for Fall Events

Texas Ballet Theater (TBT) will celebrate its 2026/2027 Season with the return of two of Dallas' signature events this December: Tutu Chic Fashion Show & Luncheon on December 1, 2026 and Sugar Plum Fairy Tea on December 19, 2026.

This season also debuts a new partnership with luxury retailer Stanley Korshak. This partnership represents a natural alignment between two iconic Dallas institutions that value artistry, sophistication, and elevated experiences.

These fashion presentations celebrate the artistry, elegance, and cultural impact of ballet in our community.

The Sugar Plum Fairy Tea is a beloved holiday family tradition inspired by the magic of The Nutcracker.
