Funding Supports Film Projection Equipment For The Opera House.
Sarasota Opera was awarded a $50,000 grant from the Gulf Coast Community Foundation which will complete the necessary funding for film projection equipment for the Opera House. The equipment will enable Sarasota Opera to create an opera broadcast and film series during the off-season, expanding Sarasota Opera’s programming from the fall and winter season to year-around. In addition, the increased technical capacity will allow rental partners the opportunity to increase their programming possibilities.
Sarasota Opera audiences are often asking for more programming,” according to Executive Director Richard Russell. “With this added capability, we will be able to increase our offerings and provide access at times when we are typically dark. We look forward to expanded activities and to providing more capabilities to our community partners.”
