Season 11 Maestro Club Membership
Become a Maestro Club member and help bring world-class Opera to SWFLJoin or renew this month!
Dear Friends,
As one of our patrons, we know that you appreciate the greatest of art forms - Opera. Supporting the arts is more important now than ever - with our governor's recent veto of all funding for the arts in Florida. We ask that you join or renew your membership to Gulfshore Opera's Maestro Club to support the company and protect its activities. Our goal for the 2024-25 Fall Campaign is $135,000, and the GO Board of Directors and staff have pledged $60,000 toward reaching that goal by October 31.

We ask you to carefully consider what level of tax-deductible donation you can contribute to ensure another wonderful season at Gulfshore Opera. Click here to learn the various ways you can donate to GO.
The success of the past ten years has proven that GO is dedicated to offering the area's best full-scale opera productions, plus a variety of community concerts and social events from Port Charlotte to Marco Island. GO provides high quality vocal music to many by being accessible and affordable. In addition, GO enriches the community through social engagement programs working with at-risk youth and the elderly. This level of community service and commitment to artistic excellence requires a significant investment. We appreciate your attendance at events, but please note that ticket purchases only cover 45-50% of the cost of productions, not including administrative and youth music education staff costs.
The 2024-25 season at Gulfshore Opera promises to provide cultural enrichment to diverse audiences in addition to local employment and vital performance opportunities for young regional talent and rising national stars.
Please join the GO Board of Directors in showing your support!
How can you do this? Donate $750 (per person) or more to join the Maestro Club or support this campaign with a recurring monthly donation of $100 or more by selecting monthly donation frequency here. By setting up a monthly contribution, you provide a steady and reliable stream of funding that helps us plan and maintain our events. Your donation makes a significant impact, ensuring opera remains accessible and thriving for everyone. You also get some great perks!

Thank you to those who gave me their feedback and shared their desire to support the arts in Florida. If you wish to take further action regarding the governor's recent veto of all funding for the arts, here is a link to a petition circulating now.
