Big Opera Party

6:00 PM Cocktails & Entertainment | 7:30 PM Dinner, Performances, & Auction

Thank you for spending an evening with us in Rome!

The Big Opera Party was an unforgettable expression of joy and investment from within our opera community. Together, we raised over $1.1 million! These funds will support opera at McCaw Hall, the Opera Center, and throughout the Puget Sound community in the coming seasons.

Thank you to all of our guests for joining us; to our generous sponsors; and a very special thank you to our incredibly supportive board of directors. Each and every one of you made this possible!
