Individual Memberships

Did you know that ticket revenue covers less than 40% of the costs of producing opera? Like most other non-profit performing arts organizations, New Orleans Opera Association relies on additional support to bring you outstanding mainstage performances and our extensive educational and outreach programming. Annual fund donations from individuals like you make up the largest portion of our contributed income.

Help keep opera singing in New Orleans for 2010-2011 and beyond. You can make a gift to the Annual Fund at any level, any time.
