In this issue, we are sharing our Executive Director Stephanie Laurent’s The Future of New Orleans Opera address, offering insight into our financial history, patron and subscriber feedback, and the direction of the New Orleans Opera Association.

We would be very grateful if you would take the time to read this important message, which offers insight into the decisions that have shaped the New Orleans Opera Association in recent years, as well as the direction we are taking for the future. We want our community to understand not only where we are going, but why we are making the decisions that will help us get there.

We are also celebrating the success of our Scenic Studio Open House, introducing our new season theme, “Rebels, Rogues, and Redemption,” highlighting the concerts being held in honor of David Morelock, and sharing an opportunity to help bring more students to the opera through our student ticket donation program, where a $25 donation is matched by the Opera to provide two students with free tickets.
