Dear Ticketholders for The Blacksmith,

We trust this message finds you staying healthy and well. While we had hoped to be in Colorado these past few weeks rehearsing, performing and, working with community around our production of The Blacksmith, the world has of course changed.

However, we love and are deeply invested in this project and so are making plans to reschedule our residency in Colorado for this fall and our performances in Washington, DC and New York City for the spring of 2021.

You are receiving this email because you purchased ticket(s) to The Blacksmith. Thank you for your purchase. We are more than happy to give you a credit for tickets to next year's season, or we are able to refund the price of your ticket.

If you are able, we would be grateful if you consider donating the value of your tickets to Opera Lafayette as a tax-deductible donation. Your contribution would help Opera Lafayette cover the following costs:

Paying artists who were scheduled to sing with us this spring.
Producing the DVD of Beethoven's Leonore to be released world-wide on Naxos.
Planning our 2020/2021 season.

Plus, there is the added incentive that new money will be matched dollar for dollar up to $100,000 thanks to the generosity of David C. Frederick and Sophia Lynn. Contributions of new patrons or increased portion of donations from long-standing patrons are all eligible.

Please click here to make your request regarding your tickets and we will be in touch accordingly. Or, if you prefer to speak to us more directly, please feel free to email our Executive Director, Diana Hossack at DianaHossack@OperaLafayette.org or call her at (202) 546-9332, ext. 602.

In the meantime, we hope you will enjoy this special video message and performance by Maestro Ryan Brown below.

Stay Well,

The Opera Lafayette Team
