The purpose of this fund is to provide urgent funds to opera artists experiencing immediate cash shortages for basic necessities as a result of lost engagements in the wave of mass cancellations due to COVID-19. Following our artist survey last week, we discovered that 12% of respondents were already at risk of not being able to afford basic necessities like food.
