Some of our Donor Benefits:

Free Ticket Exchange
Enjoy the flexibility and convenience of complimentary ticket exchanges throughout the entire 2018 Vocal Arts Festival with a donation of $101 or more.

Private Meal with a Mentoring Artist
Those choosing to sponsor a mentoring artist at $5,000 (directors or coaches) or $6,000 (conductors) will have the opportunity to join them and Opera NUOVA’s artistic director to meet and chat candidly over a casual meal. This rare occasion will provide insight into what it means to be a part of the NUOVA faculty and a working professional in opera in Canada.

Sitzprobe Rehearsal Attendance
The Sitzprobe (pronounced ZITS-probe) is the first rehearsal with full orchestra and principals singers in the same room. Watch how the conductor begins to bring these two groups together in musical cohesion.

Student Breakfast Event
Sponsor a music student to attend the Summer Opera Intensive Program ($1850) and enjoy a casual group breakfast to meet and get to know them.
