Tacoma came out in strong numbers to the Broadway Center's Carnevale a Venezia gala Sunday, May 23 inside the Pantages Theater. The evening began with shopping, noshing and sipping in a vibrant Italian market (Pantages lobby) followed by a live auction, El Gaucho dinner, opera singers, and trapeze artists in a Venetian Opera House (Pantages main stage). The event benefits Broadway Center's vital arts education programs that touch the lives of 35,000 students and teachers annually.
Chef Kevin Daft of El gaucho Tacoma created a mixed green salad followed by an amazing Chateaubriand and Australian lobster in a Bearnaise sauce with a delicious creamy red pepper polenta and asparagus for the main meal of the night.
