The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Renews $500k Dallas Opera Grant
The Dallas Opera has been awarded a second consecutive $500,000 matching grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in support of the company's successful program to advance the careers of exceptionally talented women: "The Linda and Mitch Hart Institute for Women Conductors at The Dallas Opera."The Mellon Foundation decision renews an original $500,000 grant awarded to TDO in 2015.
This innovative program is designed to support the career aspirations and advancement of women conductors and administrators in the field of opera, while addressing the thorny problems resulting from ingrained gender inequality at the top of the profession.
The next institute is scheduled to take place from October 28th through November 10, 2018, with participants (six institute fellows, plus four additional American observers) selected from a field of qualified applicants from countries around the world.
