$500,000 gift helps merged Sacramento opera and philharmonic survive

Our Region - The Sacramento Bee: A gift of $500,000 has saved the current season for the Sacramento Philharmonic and Sacramento Opera, but the merger of the two groups last summer hasn’t resolved its ongoing financial issues.
That much was clear in documents the Sacramento Region Performing Arts Alliance – the umbrella entity of the merged groups – supplied to the Sacramento City Council asking for a $350,000 forgivable line of credit.
