Leave a Legacy

Remember us in your will.

Any gift, large or small, will help sustain our mission to make opera Intimate in Scale, Mighty in Impact and play a vital part in a rich and varied eco-system for the whole sector. 

Gifts that are unrestricted are the most powerful, as they will allow us to invest in the most pressing stategic priorities and exciting creative opportunities available at the time the gift is received. 

However, should you wish, it is possible for you to specify how you would like the contribution to be used for example supporting our operas for Early Years.

If you have decided to make provision for a gift to OperaUpClose in your Will we would love to be able to thank you, and to make sure that we know exactly how you would like your donation to be used.

If you choose to tell us that you have decided to remember us in this way we undertake to act with discretion and to ensure that anything you tell us is treated in confidence, unless you are happy for it to be made public.
