Help support our return to Live Theatre

After over two years of inactivity, we are proud that our return to live theatre this past October with Dido and Aeneas was a resounding success, and it was your support that made it possible! It was thrilling for Opera Atelier and our artists to be back on stage and to look out and see our passionate supporters back in the theatre. It is thanks to the generosity, enthusiasm and support of dedicated patrons like you that we have been able to continue to create opera and ballet during this long intermission away from the stage

As we work tirelessly to welcome you back to live performances, we are asking for your support in helping us raise the curtain on our return to the stage. Opera Atelier’s 2022-23 Season, Passion Returns, brings new challenges and exciting opportunities, and we look to you - our loyal family of supporters and patrons - to help us shape Opera Atelier’s future with courage and confidence.

Your support is vital as we create the art you have come to love.
Please consider making a gift today so we can enjoy the beauty of music and dance in the theatre again.

We want to express our heartfelt appreciation for your extraordinary support of Opera Atelier during this time. From all of us at Opera Atelier, thank you for the support you continue to provide, and for your belief in the power of great art.
