Ways to Give

With your support, everything is possible!

Opera is the ultimate art form, blending the talents of hundreds of individuals — from the principal artists, chorus, dancers, actors and orchestra you see and hear in the theater, to the stagehands, designers, wardrobe personnel and many others working behind the scenes. When you donate to New Orleans Opera, you join the cast and crew as an essential partner in bringing great art to life. For more information, contact Director of Development Joanna Sternberg at (504) 267-9526 or nooagiving@neworleansopera.org.

INDIVIDUAL GIVING

Your contribution helps sustain the long tradition of opera in New Orleans, and it opens the door to special benefits including discounts, special events, VIP receptions with the artists and more! Make your Annual Fund gift or pledge today to guarantee access to a full season of special donor opportunities. Go behind the scenes — meet the stars — get involved! There are opportunities for you to participate at every donor level.

THE MASTERSIGNERS

Mastersigner giving (annual support of at least $4,000) is one of the most active parts of New Orleans Opera’s individual donor program. We invite you to join the host of opera lovers who are demonstrating major individual support for the opera. Mastersigners qualify for an array of exclusive benefits, including VIP receptions with the stars, rehearsal access and more.

THE MAESTRO CIRCLE

Created a decade ago in 2009 to commemorate the first 10 years of Maestro Lyall’s leadership, the Maestro Circle recognizes the outstanding generosity of donors giving at the $10,000+ level.

PLANNED GIVING

Planned gifts greatly enhance the long-term stability of New Orleans Opera and can be as flexible as your plans require. We can assist you in finding the appropriate way to include the Opera in your estate plans, and we can recognize you for commitment to the Opera’s future. Your planned gift can be as simple as a bequest in your will, but there are many ways to support the Opera while maximizing your tax benefits or lifetime income.

FOUNDATION GIVING AND CORPORATE SPONSORSHIPS

Your company’s support for the New Orleans Opera can provide valuable marketing visibility, exclusive client entertainment opportunities and other benefits while helping to maintain the classical arts in our community. From production sponsorships to special initiatives to in-kind support, there is a sponsorship opportunity that is right for your business.
