Remembering Suzanne Gouvernet
Finger Lakes Opera would not exist without Suzanne Gouvernet. She was there at the beginning of this company's journey and remained a steadfast supporter, confidant, and advisor until her last breath. While we mourn the loss of our dear friend and founding board member, Finger Lakes Opera will continue to celebrate and be inspired by Suzanne’s generosity and her sparkling energy.
The arts in this area have lost one of its most ardent and passionate advocates, and Finger Lakes Opera has lost one of its most trusted leaders and friend. We were fortunate to have known her and shall treasure her memory always.
- Gerard Floriano, Artistic Director

WILL YOU HELP SUPPORT OPERA IN ROCHESTER?
Before the pandemic, our ticket sales and other earned revenue accounted for 30% of our total income. After COVID-19, that number has fallen less than 10%. Will you help us bridge the gap by contributing to our Annual Fund?
Together, we can keep the music playing for decades to come.
THANK YOU TO OUR PROGRAM ADVERTISERS
