You can help bring the finest artists to San Francisco by becoming an Artist Sponsor today.
Opera Parallèle’s popular Artist Sponsorship program is a great way for you to develop a personal and lasting relationship with our artists, while also enjoying the behind-the-scenes benefits that your support provdes—attending rehearsals, meet & greets with your artist, program recognition next to your artist’s name, post-production events, and more.
Not only will your generosity underwrite the cost of travel, housing, and performance fees for our artists; you will play a vital role in supporting OP’s reputation for bringing the very best to our stage.
We welcome your support for the artists listed below; please be sure to include their name(s) on the donation form at the bottom of this page so we can properly credit your gift.
