The New York opera company was followed by its host organization, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, with US$123.9 million; Miami’s New World Symphony with US$85.2 million; the San Francisco Opera Association with US$70.7 million; and the Smith Center for the Performing Arts in Las Vegas with US$58.4 million.

The Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California, brought in US$52.3 million last year. The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington received US$51 million, according to the study, which will be published in the Oct. 30 issue of the Chronicle.
