Thank you for your magnificently-played role in Festival Opera - for being part of the family, for being in the audience, for your volunteer efforts, for your donations and for your great generosity and support of this art form.
The past 21 seasons have brought a wide range of operatic experiences to Festival Opera audiences.
From our 1991 debut production, Mozart's Abduction from the Seraglio, to the 2011 season productions of Verdi's La Traviata and Loesser's The Most Happy Fella, and in 2012 the commission of the chamber opera Mister Merrick, Festival Opera is committed to sharing this singular art form in its many expressions. It's how we hope to sustain and nurture it. This season, we look forward to presenting Verdi's masterpiece, Otello, in June, but we need your help to make that possible. Please will you make a donation -- or an additional one? Thank you!

Special Offer: See Michael Morgan Conduct the Oakland East Bay Symphony and Save 20%!
Special Discount for Festival Opera Patrons
Festival Opera patrons can get tickets to Oakland East Bay Symphony's first concert of 2013 at a 20% discount. The concert, called A Woman's Life, takes place on Friday, January 25, and features three amazing works inspired by powerful women.
World-class soprano Angela Brown, praised by the New York Times as "a splendid singer," will perform A Woman's Life, a song cycle written especially for her by composer Richard Danielpour in collaboration with poet Maya Angelou.
OEBS will also present the revolutionary masterpiece Symphonie Fantastique, inspired by Berlioz's unrequited love for the actress Harriet Smithson. The concert opens with the overture to Beethoven's only opera, Fidelio, in which the heroine, Leonore, courageously rescues her unjustly imprisoned husband.
Friday, January 25, 8pm at the Paramount Theatre. Pre-concert talk by John Kendall Bailey at 7pm.
