The Robert O. and Elizabeth M. Bentley Endowment for the Performing Arts was established in 2004 by a gift from Mrs. Bentley to enable Washington and Lee to present a major musical or operatic production at the Lenfest Center annually or to support other facets of the performing arts in years when such a production is not feasible.

Through the generosity of the Bentley Endowment, the Departments of Music and Theater, Dance and Film Studies will present the Bentley Opera, Dido & Aeneas, Winter of 2024.
