Columbus, you showed up, and what a weekend it was! 🌹

La traviata was more than a performance; it was a true collaboration across our city, brought to life with our partners at the Columbus Symphony and CAPA, and made possible by a remarkable community of artists, creatives, and supporters ✨

Thank you for being in the room, for championing the work onstage and behind the scenes, and for helping us create something unforgettable together. We’re still reliving the music, the performances, and that electric feeling we all shared ❤️
