Kentucky Opera announced a $1 million gift from longtime donor and former board member Christina Lee Brown and over $325,000 bequest from Rose Mary Toebbe, a close friend of the opera and donor for many years. Both are foundational gifts toward the opera's campaign for its recently opened opera center in downtown Louisville. "We are grateful for the visionary philanthropy of these two remarkable Louisville citizens," said Matthew Hamel, Chair of the Kentucky Opera's Board of Trustees. "Christy's extraordinary dedication to the arts and to the physical, spiritual, and cultural health of our community is truly inspirational.
