We mourn the loss of our Board Secretary, Michael Amorese, who passed away in October 2026. Michael was a dedicated opera fan who filled his calendar by traveling regionally to see opera productions and for many, many years participated in the Guild's day trips. He was especially passionate about keeping opera alive and well in Rochester and considered it a cultural gem worth preserving.
We ask that those moved to make a charitable gift in his name to please consider Opera Guild of Rochester.
In Memoriam
Board Member Michael Amorese
