Legacy

For so many, the compelling beauty of opera music is profound; the melodies of an overture or aria often stir emotions held deep within, and the dramatic action sometimes parallels that which occurs in the heart. 

The magic of opera has existed for hundreds of years with the generous support of patrons who wanted others to hear and feel what they did at the opera. 

To help continue the tradition of presenting great opera in our community, please include Opera Lyra Ottawa as a benefactor in your will.  Legacy Gifts are a straightforward way to support your opera company, making it possible to strengthen existing programs and to bring new initiatives to life. 

A Legacy Gift can also be a meaningful way to honour loved ones while also instilling an appreciation of opera in future generations.  Designating a sum of money is often the simplest way to plan your estate, but gifts of life insurance and securities are just a few other ways to make a bequest to Opera Lyra Ottawa.  Your financial advisor can inform you about the multiple tax benefits each provides. 

To discuss the impact your Legacy Gift can make to Opera Lyra Ottawa, please contact Tricia Johnson, Marketing & Development Associate, at 613-233-9200 x 224 or at development@operalyra.ca
