CONCEPT AND DESIGN FOR ANNUAL REPORT BY THE LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN Since its inception OPERA America has existed as a community of like-minded individuals committed to the artistic and financial strength of the field. This past year, our definition of community expanded: our conference, held in Vancouver, affirmed our commitment to all of North America, while our growing partnership with Opera Europa continued to bridge the continents through our shared dedication to an art form that knows no borders. Most profoundly, however, the opening of the National Opera Center in New York has created a new center for our community, a tangible space where individual and company members can gather for auditions, recitals and professional learning programs. The center’s technology capabilities enable us to share these offerings globally, even as its flexible amenities enable us to share our love for opera locally. We are delighted to present our global, national and local achievements of the past year through this Annual Report. To our members we offer gratitude for your support of these achievements.
