LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - The Kentucky Opera celebrated the shared vision of community health through creative expression. The organization said it 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.
