The San Diego Opera launched a crowdfunding campaign on Friday, April 25 with the goal of raising $1 million by May 19 to fund the company's 2015 season.
As of Monday evening, the campaign has raised $304,565, or about 30 percent of the $1 million goal. With 21 days left to go, the odds of achieving that lofty goal are looking good.
This is some positive news for the financially troubled opera company, which was originally scheduled to shut down permanently after the company's last production, Massenet's Don Quixote, ended earlier this month.
But the company's board of directors recently voted to move the closing date to May 19, giving the board more time to raise funds to save the opera company.
