SARASOTA, FLORIDA – MARCH 1, 2008

Susan Danis, Executive Director of Sarasota Opera (left), celebrates the Grand Re-Opening of the Sarasota Opera House with Dennis and Constance Towers of McKinley Griffen Design & Advertising, Wilton,NY.

The $20 million theater renovation, the priority of a $60 million Capital Campaign, marked its premiere March 1st with an Opening Night performance of Verdi's "Rigoletto" and a Grand Gala celebration. Sarasota Opera's largest fundraising endeavor has exceeded its $10 million endowment fund goal, and is challenging $30 million to be set aside for legacy gifts.

Since embarking on this ambitious campaign less than three years ago, the Opera Company is just $10 million shy of reaching its goal, according to Danis, thanks to its generous and visionary patrons.

"It was an amazing event – the restored Opera House is spectacular, and we are pleased our services contributed to this monumental transformation," Towers said.

McKinley Griffen has been designing the Opera's promotional and event collateral since 2001. The firm created the "Building on the Vision" materials utilized in the $60 million Capital Campaign and was recognized in the Opening Night Ceremonies.
