  • Seattle Opera's 2003/04 Season
    FOR RELEASE: July 17, 2014 Press Contact: Gabrielle Nomura, 206.676.5559, [email protected]. Seattle Opera Projects Budget Surplus for 2013/14 Season Kate Lindsey and Asher Fisch Named Seattle Opera Artists of the Year Maryanne Tagney Elected as Board President Seattle – Seattle Opera is projecting a surplus for the 2013/14 season, to be confirmed with published audited financials in December 2014. The surplus will be used to replenish its operating reserves for future seasons, which were significantly lowered during the recent recession. On an operating budget of nearly $28 million, the company saw significant growth in contributions and ticket sales that both exceeded expectations for the year. This announcement comes following the company’s Annual Meeting at McCaw Hall on Tuesday, July 15. Seattle Opera Board President, Dr. William T. Weyerhaeuser thanked his fellow board members and donors for their generosity and support during his tenure as president. Contributing to Seattle Opera’s surplus this season were a variety of factors, including successful fundraising and ticket sales operations thanks to generous donors and subscribers, a slightly increased overall attendance of 95,000, and the economic impact of Wagner’s Ring cycle in August, 2013. Opera lovers from all 50 states and 22 foreign countries flocked to Seattle for this unforgettable experience of story, music, spectacle, and community. Seattle Opera Annual Meeting Page 2 of 6 “Speight’s single-minded focus on the art of opera has been an inspiration to us all,” said Board Chairman John Nesholm. “When Seattle Opera staff was tasked with creating its list of core values, ‘art matters’ is what came to the forefront; this is because of Speight.
