THE TREVEY CIRCLE
AMTSJ has been dazzling audiences ever since Margaret and Robert Trevey founded our organization in 1934. It was Margaret's love of opera that inspired her to gather fellow arts enthusiasts in the community to create the San Jose Light Opera Association. With Robert as the first President, the inaugural season opened with Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado, and 70-plus years later, AMTSJ is the largest producing musical theatre company in the region, attended by over 135,000 patrons.
The Trevey Circle is a group of individual donors who contribute a minimum of $1,000 annually, enabling AMTSJ to live its mission as one of the oldest professional musical theatre organizations in America. Members receive all the benefits of our Circle of Friends in addition to:
