La Fille du Regiment, composed by Gaetano Donizetti, was staged in the Spring of 2024 and featured professional singers from across the country, professional musicians from throughout New England, and local chorus members from Vermont and New Hampshire. All four shows sold out, resulting in an attendance of approximately 900 people. In the Fall of 2024 two one-act operas were staged as a double feature: The Interlopers, composed by Cuban-American Jorge Martin, a former resident of Vermont, and Scalia/Ginsburg, composed by American Derrick Wang. These Fall shows also used professional singers and professional musicians. 37415 22096 Provided training and performance opportunities for high school youth. The Youth Opera program has three elements: a Fall residency in a local high school to teach the youth about opera and to stage performances of Dido and Aeneas; an afterschool opera scenes program; and a summer program in which high school and college students perform in senior residence facilities. In the Fall of 2023 the Dido and Aeneas program was held at Colchester High School, with performances in January 2024. The afterschool opera scenes program gives high school youth one-on-one coaching and an opportunity to learn music from a selected composer or language or musical style. These youth gain knowledge, skills, and confidence by performing in front of an audience. A unique program is developed and presented each Fall and Spring. Thirdly, the summer program allows former and current Youth Opera participants to have additional performance opportunities. These students sing in senior residences in Vermont and also present two performances which are open to the public. The performance at Shelburne Vineyards in July 2024 was attended by over 80 people. 30919 8175 1642 Provided training and performance experience for singers who are earlier in their careers. This program is called the Young Artist Program and is run in conjunction with the Spring production. The Young Artists serve as the understudies for the principal roles in the mainstage production and an additional performance with piano is staged to give them an opportunity to serve in those lead roles. The Young Artists also staged their own opera, Gioachino Rossini's La Scala di Seta. The Young Artists receive extensive training, coaching by industry professionals, and master classes by directors and agents. 0 0 0 286521 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 80 0 1 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 VT X Donald Devost 8023886300 4 Heritage Circle Middlebury VT 05753 Allison Steinmetz Administrative Director eff 11/2023 end 3/2024 20 0 X 27750 0 0 James Malcolm President 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Richard Marshak Vice President 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Karnes Keefe Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Donald Devost Treasurer End 10/2024 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Michele Brown Treasurer Eff 11/2024 2 0 X 0 0 0 Richard Isenberg Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Gail Miller Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Catherine Clark Director Eff 3/2024 2 0 X 0 0 0 Arlinda Wickland Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 David Clark Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Jonathan Isham Director Eff 12/2023 2 0 X 0 0 0 Wayne Hobbs Director Eff 10/2024 2 0 X 0 0 0 Jim Pugh Director End 10/2024 2 0 X 0 0 0 Norma Norland Director End 8/2024 2 0 X 0 0 0 Robin LaPlante Managing Director eff 8/2024 20 0 X 0 0 0 27750 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 58865 1283 0 0 122230 0 182378 Spring and Fall Operas 711110 105233 105233 0 0 Young Artist Programming 711110 1642 1642 0 0 Youth Opera Program 711110 22096 22096 0 0 0 0 0 0 128971 6308 0 0 6308 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 317657 128971 0 6308 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 16690 7844 5675 3171 0 0 0 0 91414 42964 31081 17369 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2430 1142 826 462 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 150757 150757 0 0 7214 7214 0 0 16462 4557 6334 5571 5088 0 5088 0 9586 9586 0 0 1440 0 1440 0 15629 15629 0 0 0 0 0 0 1984 992 0 992 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 355 0 355 0 Performance materials: costumes, makeup, wigs/hair 16172 16172 0 0 Venue rentals 15120 15120 0 0 Other Expenses 7055 5044 2011 0 Young Artist and Youth Opera Expenses 9500 9500 0 0 0 366896 286521 52810 27565 185190 54501 156049 11343 0 1900 200 198433 210750 7469 6980 10500 0 50000 7469 67480 X 38688 -10603 152276 153873 190964 143270 198433 210750 -49239 0 0 0 1545 0 X 0 0 0 X 164739 130699 120736 385942 182378 984494 1663 102229 60707 105010 130254 399863 166402 232928 181443 490952 312632 1384357 136000 106500 242500 0 0 0 136000 106500 242500 1141857 161 23 217 374 6308 7083 161 23 217 374 6308 7083 166563 232951 181660 491326 318940 1391440 0.82063 0.9989 0.00509 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 152278 0 1595 0 0 0 153873 0 150000 2278 0 0 0 152278 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 Due to endowment 50000 50000 Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Endowment's purpose is to generate long-term investment earnings to support the ongoing operations of the company.
