2015 Annual Report INCLUDING FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
SHARED EXPERIENCES
B Y A N Y M E A S U R E Wolf Trap Foundation’s 2015 season was a tremendous success, filled with record-breaking milestones and accomplishments. It’s an exciting time to be associated with Wolf Trap, and through the unwavering support of Wolf Trap Foundation’s donors and patrons, we are able to continue to refresh the institution while connecting with our audiences and patrons. Thank you. Your willingness and passion for the arts help make the Wolf Trap experience more rich and more sought after with each passing year.
Last year we saw successes across the spectrum of the Foundation’s activities, all furthering our goals of celebrating music in all its varied forms, while cultivating the next generation through the arts. Our performance series at the Filene Center was our strongest in years, with more than 20 sold-out shows and 40 artists making their Wolf Trap debuts, and The Barns at Wolf Trap continues to be a premier destination for uniquely intimate concerts. Wolf Trap Opera mounted its most ambitious season ever, and our renowned education programs went from strength to strength, developing new national and international partnerships while deepening our commitment to the Metro area and throughout Virginia.
Please know that this passionate work would not be possible without you and your generous contributions. We look forward to continued shared experiences with you at Wolf Trap.

For the first time in nearly 30 years, The Marriage of Figaro returned to The Barns. The new production featured eight Filene Young Artists and three Studio Artists who garnered rave reviews during its sold-out run: “Mozart can take some credit for the rapt audience attention and the guffaws that peppered the three hours of the Wolf Trap Opera’s opening-night performance of The Marriage of Figaro at The Barns on Friday but just some. The production itself floated on just the right balance of energy and delicacy, slapstick and pathos, and on the intimacy of a small stage and a chamber-size hall.” — The Washington Post
July
Showcasing and promoting diverse artistry and culture, Wolf Trap welcomed National Ballet of China to the Filene Center. The premier Chinese ballet company, accompanied by the National Ballet of China Symphony Orchestra, performed a contemporary version of The Peony Pavilion—one of the most famous love stories in Chinese literature.
On the occasion of her 30th year with Wolf Trap Opera, The Washington Post celebrated Kim Witman—Senior Director of Wolf Trap Opera and Classical Programming—in a feature story.

Her passion and expertise have shaped Wolf Trap Opera into the renowned, one-of-a-kind company and training program that it is today.
Wolf Trap patrons ventured into ancient Egypt for Aida in Concert at the Filene Center, featuring Wolf Trap Opera alumni who have flourishing, international careers.
