The School of Music in the College of Fine Arts at The University of Texas at Austin has received a $2 million gift from Dr. Ernest and Mrs. Sarah Butler to endow the Opera Theatre program. In recognition of this gift, the program will henceforth be known as the Sarah and Ernest Butler Opera Center.
