At its core, opera is about storytelling—universal themes like love, loss, ambition, and joy that resonate with everyone. With Friends of the Opera, we’re making that magic accessible, vibrant, and fun. Whether it’s hosting pre-show parties at upscale hotels or inviting opera singers to intimate gatherings, we’re showing that opera isn’t just about tradition—it’s alive, exciting, and for today’s audiences.
