A Message from Robert Driver, Opera Visionary and IO Artistic Director from 1981-1991:

Raise Your Voice:
Help Us Grow Our Endowment & Secure the Future of Opera in Indianapolis

In our 50th Anniversary, our goal is to grow our endowment to $5 million or more in order to secure our legacy of artistic equity and excellence in Indianapolis.  In support of this goal, your donation to the Indianapolis Opera Legacy Fund will bring the stage to life and transform possibilities into reality for another 50 years.  

We announced our campaign in September of 2023, and over the last year, we have already grown our endowment from $1 million to $2.5 million.  Your support can help us maintain this incredible momentum.
