Friends of the Festival
We invite you to join Opera Theatre's membership group, Friends of the Festival, with a gift of $50 or more to the Annual Fund and enjoy the year-round opera experience. In addition to receiving special perks just for Friends, you will help sustain OTSL's commitment to artistic excellence and adventurous repertory. Ticket revenue covers only 26% of annual operating expenses, so we rely on the generosity of Friends of the Festival to bridge the gap and continue our tradition of sound fiscal management.
