About the Campaign


Today, on #GivingTuesday, we invite you to be a catalyst for imagination, creativity, and cultural discovery — with a special opportunity to not only support our mission but also enjoy unique experiences that bring the magic of opera into your life.

For years, New York City Opera has been on a mission that extends far beyond the stage — we're cultivating the next generation of arts lovers through our transformative Opera Education programs. Imagine a child's first encounter with live opera: world-class singers bringing timeless stories to life, a live pianist adding depth to every moment, and the magic of performance unfolding before wide-eyed young audiences.


Our Opera Education series has become a gateway to artistic wonder for thousands of elementary and preschool children. We've brought beloved classics like The Barber of Seville, La Bohème, and La Cenerentola to life in ways that captivate, educate, and inspire.


But our commitment doesn't stop there. Through comprehensive educational initiatives, we're nurturing young talent and sparking curiosity:

  • Masterclasses at LaGuardia High School, where our artists engage with aspiring performers across vocal disciplines
  • Interactive recitals reaching thousands of middle and high school students across New York City, Long Island, and Connecticut
  • Intimate, engaging programs that demystify opera and make it accessible to young minds


On this Giving Tuesday, we ask you to join us in this vital mission. Your support doesn't just fund a program — it opens doors to creativity, builds cultural understanding, and provides transformative experiences for young people who might otherwise never discover the enchantment of opera.

Help us continue bringing the magic of music and storytelling to the next generation this Giing Tuesday!
