LAURA WILDE Scottish Opera Katya Kabanova DAVID PORTILLO (Arbace/ Idomeneo ) My experience as a member of the Ryan Opera Center was nothing short of extraordinary. The unparalleled opportunity to perform roles on the Lyric Opera stage and to train with the company’s roster of artists and instructors prepared me to enter the professional opera world with assuredness. I am very proud to be an alumnus of the Ryan Opera Center, and I always look forward to returning to Lyric to spend time with its amazing patrons, many of whom have become good friends. My sincere thanks to all of the Ryan Opera Center donors for your continued support of this program and its work.
