YOU PLAY A STARRING ROLE!
When you join our family of donors, you play a key role in creating Cincinnati Opera's spectacular mainstage productions. Cincinnati Opera depends on the generosity of donors to close the significant gap between the price of tickets and the true cost of producing opera at the highest levels of artistic excellence.
Even with sold-out performances, ticket sales cover only 27% of Cincinnati Opera's operating budget. And since maintaining accessible ticket pricing is fundamental to our mission of providing world-class opera in our community, we can be successful only with additional annual charitable support.
3 EASY WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE

YOUR GIFT MAKES A DIFFERENCE!
Every contributed dollar makes a meaningful difference in our ability to produce world-class opera. In addition, your donation also supports Cincinnati Opera's extraordinary educational programming. The company's Touring Program for Schools reaches over 30,000 students annually, giving them the opportunity to learn more about opera and music through the experience of a live performance.
In appreciation of your generosity, you will receive donor privileges (please consult the list below) to increase the enjoyment of your opera experience and bring you closer to the backstage excitement of producing opera.
