“Toi toi toi!” It is what we say to wish an artist success in an upcoming performance. On March 9, 2024, we will say it to Opera Philadelphia’s beloved General Director & President David B. Devan as he prepares to end his tenure with the company and move on to his next act.
Join us for this one-of-a-kind fundraising event celebrating David’s remarkable contributions to the company, the impact his commitment to new and innovative works has made on the city and operatic landscape, and the exciting future of Opera Philadelphia.
In honor of David’s commitment to this organization and his unwavering endeavor to propel opera forward,
the proceeds from this special event will support Opera Philadelphia’s new works practice.
