Dear Friends and Supporters of Opera Columbus,
As we approach the close of a reimagined and transformative season, tomorrow, I am delighted to share with you the incredible impact we have made together. This year, Opera Columbus has been at the forefront of nurturing emerging talent and inspiring young minds across our community.
We are especially proud of our community pop-up performances, which have brought the thrill of opera directly to the heart of Columbus. These spontaneous events in parks, schools, and public spaces have made opera accessible to all, creating unforgettable moments and fostering a deeper connection with our community. In an age where loneliness and isolation are significant challenges, these performances have allowed us to connect establish direct contact with our community, providing a sense of belonging and joy.
In addition to our work with emerging artists, we have continued to expand our educational outreach programs, reaching out to young children throughout Central Ohio. Through interactive workshops, school performances, and community engagements, we have introduced the magic of opera to a new generation of audiences. These experiences not only foster a love for the arts but also encourage creativity and cultural appreciation among our youth.
The arts, and opera in particular, serve as a healing force in our community. They offer comfort, solace, and a means to process and express complex emotions. Through our performances and community engagements, we strive to bring hope and healing, touching hearts and minds in profound ways.
As we approach the final days of our fiscal year on June 30th, I invite you to consider joining us in our mission to cultivate artistic excellence and inspire our community. Your support, whether through a donation, becoming a season subscriber, or volunteering your time, ensures that Opera Columbus remains a vital cultural institution dedicated to enriching our lives.
On behalf of the OC board and myself, thank you for your ongoing dedication and generosity. Together, we are creating a future where the arts thrives and continues to touch hearts and minds.
Warmest regards,
Femi Adeyanju
Board President, Opera Columbus
