Raise Your Voice

Join the chorus and raise your voice for
Sarasota Opera!

Philanthropic supporters of Sarasota Opera have made all the difference in the growth of the company over its history.

The founders and visionaries who purchased the theater and expanded its footprint, and the champions of the 21st century who renovated the Opera House, built the Steinwachs Artist Residences, and purchased the largest stock of theater and opera costumes in North America brought us to where we are today. Support from our community has made it possible to rise to a level of excellence few companies of our size achieve.

That support helps us manage rising production costs, allows us to expand our programs beyond the Opera House, and makes it possible to reach the highest level of artistic achievement.

To learn how you can Raise Your Voice with your philanthropy, explore these pages, or you can reach a staff member to discuss your gift, by emailing [email protected] or calling (941) 366-8450, ext. 813. To learn more about the benefits of supporting Sarasota Opera, click here.

You can also increase your impact by bundling your giving and support multiple programs with one gift. Patron tier donors whose total annual support is less than $6,000 through support for one, two, or more giving areas (STAR, Youth Opera & Education Fund, Artistic Achievement Fund) are recognized by name in program listings and receive benefits matching the total amount of their gift. Leadership tier supporters whose total annual support is $6,000 or more through support of one, two, or a combination of giving areas (Co-Producer/Season Producer, Youth Opera & Education Fund, Artistic Achievement Fund) receive photo recognition in program books, access to the McCorkle Lounge, and more in appreciation of their support.
