Presidents Council 2024- 2025

Dear Opera Guild Members,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 Season of the Opera Guild of Charlotte, marking the 70th Anniversary of this remarkable organization. It promises to be a season of excitement, innovation and challenges.

As Opera Guild of Charlotte moves into another year, we will, as we have always done, focus on promoting opera in the Charlotte region. Through our fundraising, we are able to financially assist Opera Carolina and provide aid to students who are pursuing a musical education. Our members benefit by enjoying fellowship and enhancing their appreciation of opera. Being treated to pre-opera enrichment talks prior to performances put on by Opera Carolina is a special benefit members appreciate.

We welcome new members throughout the year. Please contact us if you are interested in joining our organization, or if you just want to know more about us.

The Leadership Council 2024-2025

Toni Burke, Pauline Chinnis, Robert Gaines, Karen Oldham, Ynez Olshausen, Leslie Paliyenko
