On Monday, the Atlanta Opera pitched a big red-and-blue circus tent on the lawn of its new home at the historic Bobby Jones Golf Course Clubhouse. It was the same tent the opera set up in the middle of an Oglethorpe University baseball field during the pandemic in 2020, when it was one of the only active art organizations performing in the country. Executive and artistic director Tomer Zvulun dusted the tent off and out of storage for Monday’s occasion to break ground on a new $72 million campus. A $25 million gift from Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation propelled the project, and the facility will be named after Arthur’s late mother as the Molly Blank Center for Opera and the Arts.
