Cincinnati Opera Guild

CINCINNATI OPERA GUILD BOARD

The Cincinnati Opera Guild is an organization of committed volunteers who are dedicated to supporting Cincinnati Opera through volunteerism, social events, and financial giving. For more than six decades, Guild members have served as advocates for the organization, promoting awareness, generating public interest, and deepening understanding of the art form in our community. Members bring many forms of expertise, especially for our education and community engagement programs. Their support is essential to a vast array of ongoing activities and events, and they are among the Opera’s most enthusiastic ambassadors in Greater Cincinnati. We hope you will consider joining in the fun by becoming a Cincinnati Opera Guild Ambassador!
