The Marigny Opera House Foundation
The Marigny Opera House is supported by the Marigny Opera House Foundation, a 501(c )3 charity founded by the building’s owners. The building’s day-to- day operations and events are all subsidized by occasional rentals for weddings and film shoots, and from a portion of ticket sales for the public events hosted there. Performing artists and arts/community organizations do not pay any rent for use of the space; tickets sold for any public performance are split between the artist/group and the Marigny Opera House Foundation—with the artists receiving 60% of all proceeds.
