Letter from the Development Officer

MESSAGE FROM THE DEVELOPMENT OFFICER A MESSAGE FROM THE DEVELOPMENT OFFICER

Iam pleased to serve as Development Officer for the Opera’s 2019-2020 season.

My role is a simple one — to remind Opera fans that the Opera needs your support! Our wonderful performances are expensive to produce and ticket revenue only covers about 40% of our costs. We depend on the generosity of those able to give more than what they pay for their tickets.

Please consider making a contribution, and if you already contribute, please consider an increase. As our expenses increase, so must our revenues! And please consider becoming a major contributor, at the level of Mastersigner or above.

Your gifts help to assure that great opera will continue to be performed in New Orleans for years to come!

TED MARTIN

Development Officer
