A Grant To Keep Opera Alive In Orlando

“United Arts of Central Florida Board of Directors voted to earmark $200,000 for a proposal to keep opera alive in Central Florida” – with a semi-staged opera-in-concert presented by the Orlando Philharmonic next year – “following the Orlando Opera Company’s Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing in early June. […] The [ultimate] goal is for a new opera company to be in place when the $425 million Dr. P. Phillips Orlando Performing Arts Center opens.”
