We are absolutely thrilled to share the news that our beloved board member, Francis Price, has been honoured with the prestigious National Opera Trustee Recognition Award!
This award, bestowed by the Opera America and Association for Opera in Canada, acknowledges exemplary leadership and service, and we couldn’t be prouder that Francis has been recognized among the visionary leaders of the opera world. This award is a testament not only to Francis’ tireless efforts within our organization, but also to the broader influence and impact of opera nationally.
Francis has been an Edmonton Opera board member for over 20 years, and has made significant contributions to our success, notably leading an annual endowment campaign that raised millions of dollars over the past decade. He supports us as a donor, hosts visiting artists, and provides valuable insight to the Board and management team. Francis has been instrumental in supporting young artists and promoting diverse storytelling through partnerships with other arts organizations such as Fringe Festival and Pop Goes the Opera.
This recognition is truly well deserved! Please join us in congratulating Francis on this extraordinary moment for him and for our entire Edmonton Opera family. Bravo!
