The Dallas Opera 2021-2022 - The Barber of Seville/The Pearl Fishers

27 THE BARBER OF SEVILLE | THE PEARL FISHERS Following the cancellation of an unprecedented number of live performances two years ago, TDO embarked to rebuild revenues devastated by the pandemic. The New Vision Initiative was launched in July 2020 to ensure a financially sustainable future for TDO through new gifts, multiyear pledges, and audience development initiatives. These gifts support every aspect of the company— dynamic productions with phenomenal casts, efforts to attract new audiences, the expansion of TDO’s role in the community, and digital programming like thedallasopera.TV . To date, within the “quiet phase” of the campaign, The Dallas Opera has raised $19.5 million in gifts and pledges. This includes commitments of $1 million and above from the Perot Family, the Eugene McDermott Foundation, and the late Mary Anne Cree, as well as gifts from other generous donors who are listed in this program book. Most recently, in January, TDO was awarded a $3 million grant over three years from the O’Donnell Foundation. Half of the $1 million each year is a $500,000 gift to TDO’s annual operations, with the other $500,000 contingent upon achieving a matching gift challenge to inspire new and increased gifts to the New Vision Initiative. The Dallas Opera is most grateful to those donors who have made gifts during the campaign’s early phase, and we look forward to welcoming new supporters of our New Vision Initiative.
