Join us this season as a Portland Opera Friend:
Make Your Gift Today!
You don’t have to live life on the edge like the characters of this season’s operas to have a dramatic role in producing great opera in your community.
When you add a tax-deductible gift to your subscription, you give more than 400,000 adults and children the thrill of a lifetime: experiencing the passion of world-class opera.
You also give everyone a reason to sing your praises all year long, because the effects of your gift will transcend beyond Keller Auditorium.
Your support will reach out to people young and old, and every age in between, in every corner of our region. That’s because Portland Opera is committed to its established opera audience and to attracting new audiences.
Through education and outreach programs that include Portland Opera To Go, a statewide school tour; the Portland Opera Studio Artist program, giving five young singers the opportunity to begin their careers in Portland; student dress rehearsals; and the many free concerts, previews, discussions and lectures, Portland Opera friends make opera accessible to everyone.
To thank you for becoming a friend of the Opera, we’ll provide an array of benefits — from backstage tours and dress rehearsals, to cast parties and complimentary parking — to make the thrill of opera last all season long.
Please, make your gift today!
