Opera Santa Barbara brings the finest singers, directors and technical personnel from across the United States to create our wonderful productions. Our ability to bring such a quality team to Santa Barbara on our limited budget requires us to find donated housing for these artists.

Each Artist Host will provide:

• A private bedroom with a private bathroom.
• The ability to access the internet from your home (not necessarily in the bedroom) via a phone line, cable modem, DSL, etc. Most artists who require access to the internet have their own computers; they just need the connection.
• Access to television, if possible.

Please remember that these artists are in Santa Barbara to work on our productions. They are in rehearsal most afternoons and evenings, and prior hosts have confirmed that you will not see them very much. Each artist will have their own transportation.

Each Artist Host will receive:

• Complimentary tickets for two to both Festival Operas! You can choose the dates you wish to attend. Value: $300.
• Complimentary admission to the parties following the opening and/or closing nights of each production. Value: $150.
• A $100 cash stipend to cover any expenses incurred.
• Listing as an Artist Host in the program book, directly below the name of the artist you are hosting.
