In supporting OperaUpClose you will make a vital and direct contribution to improving the availability, relevance and reach of this extraordinary art form. To cover the costs of our commissions, our productions and our community participation work we need to raise £250,000 every year.
Help us create opera made with and for everyone by joining one of our supporter schemes.
As well as priority booking, supporters receive invitations to events including pre-show talks with composers, librettists, directors and musical directors; post-show receptions with the singers; and sneak previews of set designs and production plans.
To get closer to our work, and support the next generation of opera makers, performers and audiences, you can help us at any of the following levels and become part of the OperaUpClose family.
If you would like to discuss even more involved ways you can support OperaUpClose, get in touch with Jane Ryan, info@operaupclose.com and we will be delighted to have a chat!
