We are thrilled to announce a $1 million endowed gift from Thomas & Bonnie Reilly - the largest gift in Indianapolis Opera’s history!

The gift establishes the Bonnie A. Reilly Legacy General Director Fund, creating lasting support for the leadership that will guide Indianapolis Opera into the future.

This extraordinary investment comes as we celebrate General Director David Craig Starkey’s 10th year of leadership—a decade of expanding our artistic reach, growing our education and community programs, and welcoming new audiences to opera.

And now, we're looking ahead as we start our 52nd season with Opera in the Park on September 11th!

Come experience the next chapter of Indianapolis Opera and see where we're going next - explore the 52nd Season & learn more at indyopera.org!

Beautiful singing. Beautiful cuisine. Beautiful night.

Tuesday night at Ambrosia, we gathered for Opera Cabaret at Ambrosia - an evening filled with glorious music, delicious food, Italian culture, and an audience that was more than happy to join in the fun.

We welcomed longtime opera lovers alongside guests attending their first Opera Cabaret, creating exactly the kind of joyful, welcoming atmosphere we love! Thank you for celebrating Italian culture with us. ❤️
