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.

General Meetings - Social and Singers

All are invited to attend these social gatherings to learn more about the Guild and Sarasota Opera free of charge. The Social and Singers are generally held from 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

Opera Prologues provide insightful background on the season's Sarasota Opera performances. The first of five Prologues begins on October 13 at 5 PM. (Please note the time change.)  Donation for each session is $20, which includes wine and appetizers following the program.  The next four Prologues will be held in January 2026. Prepay and get all four Prologues for $60.
