Orlando Opera Company Launches $2.1 Million “50 and Forever”
Campaign
Orlando - The Board of Trustees of Orlando Opera Company is celebrating
the company’s golden anniversary season in 2007-08 with the
launch of a plan for the company’s future that will enhance
its artistry and stabilize its finances. These are ambitious goals,
but eminently realizable as the company continues its current course
of building the subscription base, of attracting professional and
experienced staff, and of remaining fiscally sound in annual operations.
By the announcement of the public phase of the campaign at a 50th
anniversary gala concert and dinner, Board of Trustees Chair Dr.
Mitch Levin announced that $1.6 of the $2.1 million had already
been raised. In October, 2006, Orlando Opera Company began the quiet

fifty years of the company and to demonstrate the organizational
capacity necessary for today’s mature performing arts institutions
before entering the public phase.

Writers. Orlando Repertory Theatre’s Jeffrey Revels was eager
to report details. “Out of our eight season shows, four are
written by women!” wrote The Orlando REP’s new Artistic
Director. The WOWW award was presented to Orlando Repertory at a
meeting of the Board, staff and invited guests on Tuesday, December
11 at CityWalk’s Red Cocoanut.The fused glass award was designed
by Fern Matthews, a sculptor-mixed media artist with a theater background.
