mai frances doles
Mai Frances Doles was one of Shreveport’s greatest opera lovers and supporters, and a well-known “grand dame” about town. The Mai Frances Doles Memorial Opera in Concert is Spotlight on Opera’s annual grand finale and fundraiser. In 2023, we honored her memory with a performance of her favorite opera, Madama Butterfly by Puccini, starring her very own goddaughter, Elizabeth Herlitz Cortés in the title role. Stay tuned for the announcement of our 2025 title!
We invite friends and admirers of Mai Frances, as well as opera lovers everywhere, to support this concert or make a gift to Spotlight on Opera in Mai Frances’ name by clicking on the donation button below.
