Dear Friends of the Delaware Valley Opera Company,
These are uncertain times, to be sure. Our friends and families have felt the impact of social isolation, unemployment and very sadly, some have succumbed to the virus.
The performing arts community has rallied to keep spirits up through virtual experiences to remind people that there is hope that we will get through this.
But performing arts organizations have been hit hard, in the same way as small businesses that are unable to open. The Delaware Valley Opera Company has postponed our 2020 Summer Opera Festival and other performances until 2021, leaving the company with few options for generating funds to cover storage space rental fees, insurance, our annual audit, and many other overhead expenses.
In the meantime, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney has called for an end to the city arts agency, cutting $4 million in cultural spending via the Philadelphia Cultural Fund.
If we are to survive, we need support from our friends and members. Please give what you can, online at www.DVopera.org, or by check made out to “DVOC”, mailed to Delaware Valley Opera Company, 1731 Chandler Street, Philadelphia, PA 19111.
With your help DVOC can stay the vibrant arts group that we have been for the past 40 years.
Thanking you in advance for your generosity,
Sandra Day
