SPONSORSHIPS AT OPERA SANTA BARBARA

Opera Santa Barbara’s mainstage productions and community events reflect the heart of our creative programming. You can show your passion for opera by sponsoring your favorite production, artist or role, individual concert or series, educational program or one-time event. Your generosity enables us to produce works of the highest quality employing local, regional and national talent that enhance Santa Barbara’s reputation as a vibrant cultural destination.

All sponsors are recognized in our printed and digital opera programs, production suppertitles, and on our website and social media posts, in addition to receiving private invitations to behind the scenes production events and parties.

A sponsorship in any amount will contribute to your overall giving level with Opera Santa Barbara and may qualify you for additional donor benefits and recognition.
