The Sterling Opera House Commission

02/10/2026

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night, both in person and on Zoom! After four years of dedication and hard work, the commission is thrilled to finally see those efforts coming to fruition.

Evan Paoli from the architectural firm we selected shared an exciting progress update on the feasibility study for our beloved opera house—one they’ve been working on with great care and commitment.

Be sure to join us on March 9th for the presentation of the full report. Following that, our newly established 501(c)(3) will officially begin fundraising to bring this vision to life.

Your continued support over the past four years has meant more than we can say. We truly couldn’t have reached this milestone without you.

Such a shame the current administration would not allow us to take advantage of this huge opportunity for exposure. WPLR approached us first and we had to tell them no, 24 hours before they were already scheduled to come.
