Bob Heuer, following Arturo di Filippi and Robert erman, is only the third General Director in the Opera's 69-year history. A visionary and a strong driving force in the building of the Adrienne Arsht Center's Sanford and Dolores Ziff Ballet Opera House, Bob has made a notable difference in the lives of young singers through his creation and continuation of FGO's Young Artist Studio. Many of the artists whose studies and careers he has nurtured will return to sing in this once-in-a-lifetime gala concert.
