Ohio Light Opera to redefine ties to College

The Ohio Light Opera and The College of Wooster announced Wednesday that the opera will be reincorporating as an independent not-for-profit organization, rather than as a subsidary of the College. The opera will continue to be affiliated with the College in many of the same ways it has always been ó Freedlander Theatre will continue to serve as the Opera’s venue and company members will still be housed in campus housing.

The new relationship, however, will allow the opera new flexibility in management practices and allow the College to focus ìmore tightly on its core academic mission,” according to John Hopkins of the Office of Public Information at the College.
