TAO/Molly Blank Groundbreaking, A note from Managing Director, Micah Fortson

Posted on Feb 9th, 2026

Hello, new neighbors!

After years of conversations, community meetings, planning, fundraising, challenges, and triumphs, we’re excited to announce that we are breaking ground on the Molly Blank Center for Opera and the Arts! This is a momentous time where we cross the threshold from dream to reality and mark a new era for classical arts in Atlanta. I would like to personally extend my warmest appreciation for the overwhelming support we have received from neighborhood residents. We hope that you will consider yourselves a part of our Atlanta Opera family.

The site (and parking) will be closed for construction starting February 14, 2026, and is expected to reopen to the community in the Fall of 2027. For more information and our updated FAQ, please visit our website.
