Opera House Fund
The Opera House Fund, Incorporated, is a not-for-profit community service, created in 1974 to assist the Lexington Center Corporation in the funding for the design, construction, and restoration of the 1886 Lexington Opera House.
Since that time, the Opera House Fund continues to support the historic venue through the presentation of professional touring artists on the Broadway Live and Variety Live series. And to ensure community utilization of our historic theatre, The Opera House Fund subsidizes member organizations of LexArts for their productions on our stage.
The Opera House Fund is a 501©(3) not-for-profit organization. It relies on public support for all large projects and capital improvements. You are invited to become part of the legacy of the Opera House by following in the footsteps of those who have supported this venue since 1976.
Share the Vision. The value of the Lexington Opera House to the Blue Grass community cannot be understated, nor should it be taken for granted.
