Friends of Opera

All donors to the Department of Voice & Opera are recognized as Friends of Opera.

Donations to the Friends of Opera Fund directly enrich the educational experiences and enhance the opportunities available to voice students by underwriting production costs for opera workshops, purchasing vocal scores for the main stage productions, funding visits by guest artists to teach master classes, and awarding a cash prize for the winner of the annual Friends of Opera vocal competition. Donations to the Friends of Opera Endowed Scholarship provide funding for student scholarships and assist the Department of Voice & Opera in attracting top talent to its program.

Friends of Opera enjoy many benefits, including a priority ticket purchasing period for SMTD productions; invitations to events like the fall opera afterglow and competition winners’ recital; recognition in the main stage productions programs; and email newsletters with updates from the Department of Voice & Opera.
