The Kentucky Opera received over $1.3 million dollars in donations for a recently opened opera center in downtown Louisville.
Longtime donor and former board member Christina Lee Brown donated $1 million to Kentucky Opera and close friend and donor Rose Mary Toebbe donated over $325,000 for the new cultural hub, according to a release.
The location at 708 Magazine Street serves as a compliment to the historic Brown Theater, where the opera has performed for more than 60 years, to help expand youth and family programs, host nonprofit organizations and create collaborative programming.
The opera center will now be named the Kentucky Opera Center for Cultural Health in recognition for Brown’s commitment to promote healthy communities. The center’s community hall has been named the Rose Mary Toebbe Community Hall.
