Individual Giving
“Opera is an overwhelming experience. It hammers at you with everything you’ve got—all the senses.”
-Jack Reynolds

Opera Southwest prides itself on being both excellent and economical. However, as ticket sales cover only 50% of opera production costs, our annual budget requires investments from individuals who are passionate for the arts and opera in Albuquerque. We welcome and appreciate donations from individuals in any amount. Individual donations are tax deductible and are recognized in our program by name unless you specify that you wish to remain anonymous.
