Winter Opera Saint Louis is poised for a transformative 18th season thanks to the generous contribution from the Preston M. Green Charitable Foundation. The opera company acquired a 13,000-square-foot building in Creve Coeur that will house Winter Opera St. Louis' operations, rehearsal space, costume, prop and set storage, alterations and costume design, and a dedicated community space for regional artists and musicians. Aptly named the Preston M. Green Winter Opera St. Louis Arts Center, this new building at 1283 Research Boulevard in Creve Coeur is set to become a cultural hub. The new space opens up opportunities for greater community engagement, as local arts groups are invited to utilize the facility to enrich their performances.
The vision for the future of Winter Opera St. Louis extends beyond entertainment; it's about impact. The opera's efforts to engage children, including those with disabilities, promise to bring joy and smiles through the power of music and singing. This commitment to inclusivity and community truly distinguishes Winter Opera St. Louis as a beacon of cultural enrichment with performances that warm the soul.
