OPERA America

8 Bridges supported OPERA America with the development and delivery of a new grant making program supported with a grant from the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation. OPERA America’s Innovation Grants supported Professional Company Members in implementing innovative projects in opera’s most important areas of practice, including artistic vitality, audience experience, organizational effectiveness, and community connections. The program shifted during the pandemic and Getty’s supported was allocated toward reducing membership fees for OPERA America’s company members during COVID.
