Dear Mr. Manager:
The Greater Miami Opera Association hereby requests a grant of $50,000
from the City of Miami in support of its 1986-87 fiscal year which ends
on May 31, 1987. To this end may we request inclusion on the agenda of
the City Cammfssion meeting scheduled for May 14, 1987 and your favorable
recommendation in support of our request.
As you undoubtedly know by now:
- All of the International & National Series performances of the Opera
are rxyw presented in Miami and no longer divided between Miami and
Miami Beach.
- The Cammissioners have for many years considered the Opera Miami's
forem)st cultural institution and made an annual grant to the Opera's
activities.
- Both the Dade County Council of Arts and Sciences and the Dade County
School Board support the Opera with approximately $50,000 per year.
- As a result of its move to Miami, the Opera has lost the annual Miami
Beach grant of $35,000.
- The Opera enploys a total of 300 South Floridians most of whom live
in Miami.
- With an annual budget of over $4 million and assets of over $1.5
million, the Opera has its funds managed and invested through a Miami
financial. institution.
We will be grateful for your support of our request.
Will you have us notified that we have been placed on the agenda for the
May 14 Commission meeting?
With thanks and best wishes, I am
Sincerely yours,
Robert H. Traurig
