When in Rome
Gala 2023 Honorees Peggy and Peter Preuss
Each year, San Diego Opera identifies honorees who exhibit leadership, positively affect people’s lives, and demonstrate a deep commitment to fulfilling our mission – to deliver exceptional vocal performances and exciting, accessible programs to diverse audiences, focusing on community engagement and the transformative power of live performance. We are profoundly grateful for the generosity and dedication of Peggy and Peter Preuss.
Gala Co-Chairs
Diana & Eliezer Lombrozo and
Veronica & Miguel Leff
Mother and daughter duo Diana Lombrozo and Veronica Leff (along with their spouses) are honored to bring their years of community volunteering, their commitment to social action, and love of special events to help create a festive, elegant, and inviting fundraiser in support of San Diego Opera’s many important programs. “We invite you to join us in helping to secure the future of San Diego Opera for our community and to honor Peggy and Peter Preuss and applaud their years of commitment to our community. They are an inspirational couple and an example to follow.” San Diego Opera is looking forward to welcoming you to a fabulous evening … When in Rome!
