OCI is grateful for the support our Benefactors and Patrons provide each year
Adopt a Singer
With a donation of €1,000 you can help cover the cost of one young artist or trainee position during the summer season.
Your support will establish a personal connection with one member of our cast, artistic team or backstage crew who you’ll be helping build a career in opera. You will also get an insight into the casting process and a sneak peek at our 2023 plans.
Membership
Benefactors are vital members of our extended family – a community of supporters and arts-lovers who see the deep intrinsic value of the arts in Ireland. Become a benefactor and enjoy benefits including opportunities to meet your favourite singers plus exclusive sneak-peek benefactor communications – all designed to bring you closer to the world of opera and introduce you to a community of like-minded people.
With the support of our Benefactors, Opera Collective Ireland will help bring breath-taking performances to the stage for Irish audiences, provide young people with access to our specially selected productions and help make emerging opera singers’ dreams a reality. Opera is a unique artform, bringing together music, theatre, design and movement in one emotionally-charged package. Your support makes all the difference and so we have designed a number of packages, one of which we hope will suit you.
Opera Collective Ireland Membership Schemes are a fantastic way to support young people who want to pursue a career in opera.
Our loyal friends and patrons support our work with regular donations and can enjoy a range of exciting privileges and opportunities. Membership starts from only €50/year.
