Opera Project Columbus

Apparently a lot of people care about opera and ballet! Do you have your tickets to see OPC in June? We are happy to show you why these two beloved art forms are stronger than ever!

Cheers, Timmy! 🩰

Sir Alex Beard, Chief Executive of the Royal Ballet and Opera offered a cheerful thank-you to Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet for unexpectedly helping boost ticket sales.

Beard told The Times that Chalamet’s earlier comments suggesting that “no-one cares” about ballet or opera anymore sparked a wave of public interest instead. "Our post got two-and-a-half million engagements and half a million shares, just on Instagram. And our ticket sales got an immediate boost. So cheers, Timmy!"

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of our dear friend, Allan (“Al”) Wadell.

Al was a cherished and devoted supporter of Opera Project Columbus for many years, serving with distinction as a board member and, until very recently, as our treasurer. Alongside his husband, Allen, he graciously opened his home and heart to our organization, hosting memorable gatherings at The Garden Manor. An evening in their company was something truly special—warm, welcoming, and unforgettable.

Al’s commitment to Opera Project Columbus was unwavering. We are deeply grateful for his years of friendship, his dedicated service on our board, and his profound love for this art form.

His generosity extended far beyond our organization; Al gave his time and energy to many throughout the community. He took great pride in the causes he supported and had a remarkable ability to connect people, bringing others together in meaningful ways.

More than anything, Al was a friend—to us and to all who had the privilege of knowing him. To know Al was to be fortunate, and we count ourselves among the lucky ones to have been supported and uplifted by such an extraordinary man.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
