Washington Nat'l Opera sues the Kennedy Center alleging that the Center STOLE the opera's endowment.

WNO had a longterm agreement where KC ran the opera's development back office, and in 2025 KC just ... stopped doing it and seized the funds.

49. On January 8, the Kennedy Center’s Chief Financial Officer sent an email to WNO’s General Director and Board President asserting for the first time and, contrary to the terms of the 2024 Agreement, that the funds in the WNO BSRF belonged to the Kennedy Center. In addition, the CFO disclosed that the Kennedy Center had used those funds—funds that the 2024 Agreement expressly required to be held for the long-term benefit of WNO—to collateralize the Kennedy Center’s own line of credit. 50. The next day, on January 9, 2026, the WNO Board voted to terminate the 2024 Agreement. WNO’s Board President and Board Chair immediately notified the Kennedy Center of that decision in a letter to Mr. Grenell and requested that the parties begin unwinding the affiliation.
