Support Your Detroit Opera
Detroit Opera is a cornerstone of Detroit arts and culture, with a national reputation for excellence and a profound impact on our communities. Your support makes it possible.

 

With your support, we:

  • bring inspiring operas and dance to thousands of Detroiters annually
  • provide essential arts education that helps young people develop vital academic, personal, and creative skills
  • stage groundbreaking productions like X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X and timeless classics like La bohème—which often go on to prestigious opera houses nationwide
  • feature world-renowned singers, dancers, conductors, directors, and designers
  • nurture tomorrow’s stars through the Detroit Opera Resident Artist Program
  • champion belonging, fairness, and representation in all we do, and constantly build on our legacy as a pioneer of inclusion, on and off stage.
  • engage our communities by meeting people where they are—in schools, houses of worship, healthcare settings, and with social service partners

Our donors have enabled Detroit Opera to become the destination for unforgettable, transformative experiences, for audiences from all walks of life. And we thank you.

“What an investment in Detroit Opera really says is that we want innovative work happening here, and we want to export that work all over the country—because it means that Detroit’s entire profile rises with each new production.”

As an educator, I have always appreciated the arts. Since Detroit is my home, I want present and future generations to come to experience opera, dance, music and other performing arts. I love and truly support this city.
