This year’s Gala will take place at the Piedmont Driving Club, where many a post-performance soirée was held in the early days of opera in Atlanta. The evening will benefit the Opera’s artistic and educational initiatives, ensuring their lasting impact on the community. Guests will enjoy an elegant dinner, a luxury live auction, and live performances by featured Atlanta Opera artists. Chaired by James B. Miller, Jr., Talia Murphy, and Victoria Palefsky, this special evening honors two extraordinary supporters of the opera: Ann & Frank Critz. It also celebrates Tomer Zvulun’s 10th year with The Atlanta Opera as the Carl W. Knobloch, Jr. General and Artistic Director.
