AFTER A 2 YEAR HIATUS DUE TO THE PANDEMIC SHUTDOWN ORDERS, KENTUCKY OPERA RESUMED MAINSTAGE PRODUCTIONS ON A REDUCED SCALE WITH INCREASED AUDIENCE AND PRODUCTION SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. OUTDOOR PROGRAMS CONTINUED INTO THE FALL. KENTUCKY OPERA PRODUCED A FULLY STAGED HOLIDAY PROGRAM FEATURING THE LOCAL CHORUS, COMPLETING THE MAINSTAGE SEASON WITH 2 SMALL-SCALE OPERAS. ADDITIONALLY, KENTUCKY OPERA HOSTED THE WORKSHOP FOR THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE, THE STORY OF FANNIE LOU HAMER; THIS NEW WORK WAS CO-COMMISSIONED WITH SANTA FE OPERA. ONLINE PROGRAMMING FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN CONTINUED. WITH THESE PROGRAMS, KENTUCKY OPERA SERVED OVER 35,000 PEOPLE THROUGH IN-PERSON AND VIDEO PROGRAMMING.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJun 1, 2021 – May 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.3MKentucky Opera New Facility Operations
