Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4C

May 17, 2025 saw wgo's production of rossini's iconic cenerentola - the italian re-telling of the cinderella fairy tale - come to life. For this, as has become customary, wgo hired both national and local artists, putting together a wonderful team that highlights both local talent as well as drawing national attention to our stage in bring returning national artists to our arts scene and community. For this, wgo also invited all school-age children and young people under the age of 18 to the performance, free of charge. Sets were rented from virginia opera, and costumes from sarasota, florida. This performance concluded wgo's 24/25 season with hilarity and good will. In doing so, wgo brought a great number of children into the theater, exposing them to classic opera performed in italian, and building upon future generations of opera lovers and supporters of the arts in our community.
