Los Angeles Recovery Support
With everyone across the country, we are devastated by the destruction in Los Angeles this week.
The OPERA America team has been in touch with our members — artists, administrators, trustees, and others — throughout the greater LA area. Many of them have been evacuated and a number of them have lost their homes. Even those whose homes were spared are experiencing the trauma of fear and uncertainty.
To our friends in Los Angeles:
We have collected a broad selection of resources available to you, below. Please turn to these local organizations for assistance and support, and let us know if there are ways OPERA America can help you.
To our many friends who want to help:
Consider making donations to these organizations that are lending support to the music workers impacted by this disaster.
Thank you for coming together to aid in the recovery from this disaster. The arts have an important role to play in restoring community and healing. Our work has just begun and will continue.
