Annual Fund
A Collaboration in Excellence: The Opera's Annual Fund
When you take your seat in our theater, with its panoramic vistas and spectacular sunsets, you become part of a pioneering enterprise recognized as one of the world's foremost opera festivals. But ticket sales cover only half the cost of our world-class festival season and high-quality, year-round outreach programs. For the other half, we depend on your generosity.
By becoming a donor, you move from being a spectator to a full collaborator. And partnership brings many benefits—from free season posters and attendance at working rehearsals, to valet parking and elegant dinners in exquisite Santa Fe homes—that can greatly enrich your opera-going experience.

Special Gift Opportunities — Donors of $5,000 or more to the Annual Fund have the opportunity to designate their gifts in support of the Opera's mainstage productions, Apprentice Programs, or the award-winning outreach programs serving more than 60,000 children and young adults in our community each year.
Matching gifts can increase your contribution to the Opera if your employer participates in such a program. To learn if your gift qualifies for a corporate match, contact your company's Human Resources department.
