This address is a suite or unit (STE 202). Organizations that share one are often clients of the same office-services firm, accountant or registered agent rather than related to each other.

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2023

• Building on the success of FY23, FY24 was the continuation of our economic recovery from the Covid 19 pandemic. Our season highlights our commitment to opera supporting diversity and inclusion. We started in October, Hispanic Heritage month, with the Spanish production of La Medium at Fort Worth's historic northside venue, Rose Marine Theater. In February, we produced dwb (Driving While Black), showcasing this opera at both the Texas Christian University Van Cliburn Hall and the Kimball Art Museum Piano Pavillion. We were thrilled to return to Fort Worth's majestic Bass Performance Hall for a semi-staged production of the classic opera La Boheme. We ended our season in celebration of Juneteenth, inviting Morris Robinson to perform at the Texas Christian University Van Cliburn Hall.

• The Fort Worth Opera Studio, founded in 2002, includes four young Lesley Artists chosen each year from national auditions to be in residence with Fort Worth Opera in order to continue their training as they prepare for professional careers. They perform in the FWO children's Opera Theater in addition to roles in our main productions and civic impact shows. Additionally, these young artists receive lessons and coaching, language and movement classes as well as classes on Opera as a business.

  Expenses $192,422

• Children's Opera Theatre, in existence for over thirty years, reaches over 30,0000 students each year in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Additionally, this department has expanded and repositioned itself to include Civic Impact and Engagement performances. This allows us to not only reach children in area schools, but also at events both adults and children are gathered. This year's shows produced for the children were Bienvenidos! and Hansel and Gretel.

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
