OPERA SANTA BARBARA

Each year, Opera Santa Barbara seeks a group of dedicated opera enthusiasts to directly support our opera productions through our Season and Production Patrons Program.

The role of this Program is to support the company’s strategic growth program, aimed at increasing the quality and number of productions offered over the next several years. Patrons make a gift of $15,000 - $50,000, which is renewable annually, to support the direct production costs and expanded offerings that are not covered by ticket sales. Production Patrons have the unique opportunity to “sponsor” a specific component of each season’s offerings.

Season and Production Patrons receive the following benefits, in addition to all the benefits offered to our highest level of Impresario Circle members:

Recognition in all Program Books as a Season Patrons, directly linked to the element being sponsored. For example, if the Patron sponsors the Conductor, the listing the program will read:
Conductor: Maestro Valery Ryvkin, Sponsored by XXXXXXX
Invitation to an exclusive Cast Welcome party which will include principal cast members from the operas.
Two complimentary VIP tickets to each annual opera production with first priority seat selection.
Complimentary admission to all Opera Santa Barbara sponsored events held during the season (Cast Cabaret, special talks, etc.)
Lobby Recognition in all Venues on a special Production Patrons plaque.
Naming opportunities with the ability to “adopt” a principal singer, the conductor, sets, costumes, etc. for one of the Festival opera.
