­As you’ve seen this season, opera is an amazing convergence of music, song, theatre, and dance. No other form of live perfor­mance comes close to opera’s ability to inspire and entertain. But did you know that opera is also the most expensive art form?

Though Cincinnati Opera has strong box office sales, tickets cover only 27% of our operating costs. To exist, we depend on the generosity of patrons like you. Your gift today will help us to close the significant gap between the cost of producing opera and the revenue we receive from ticket sales.

Our guiding principles are artistic ­excellence and fiscal responsibility. Cincinnati Opera has a remarkable record of 20 consecutive seasons of balanced budgets, so you can be confident that your support will be wisely invested.

As a member of our family of supporters, you can look forward to exciting benefits designed to enhance your opera experience through the 2011 season! Make your gift today.
