Sarasota Opera Guild

Sarasota Opera Guild’s objectives are to:

  1. Promote and increase the appreciation for opera in the community in conjunction with the Sarasota Opera Association;
  2. Encourage and assist young singers;
  3. Sponsor projects to raise funds for the Sarasota Opera.

 

Most programs are held at Gillespie Hall at Church of the Redeemer, 222 S Palm Ave, Sarasota. Please use the Gulfstream Avenue courtyard entrance. Free street parking.

General Meetings - Social and Singers

All are invited to attend these social gatherings to learn more about the Guild and Sarasota Opera. The Social and Singers are generally held on the third Tuesday of the month, September through March, skipping December. Reception with refreshments starts at 10 AM, followed by a short business meeting, and concludes with a special performance by Sarasota Opera singers. Free.

Opera Prologues provide insightful background on the season's Sarasota Opera performances. The Prologues are held on Mondays at 4:00 pm. Donation for each session is $20, which includes wine and appetizers following the program. Prepay and get all four Prologues for $60.
