Support Us Today!

Opera San José’s mission is to produce emotionally thrilling entertainment that engages our diverse Silicon Valley community while developing the next generation of opera talent.

Be Our Encore

In opera, an encore is a moment of magic, a call for just one more song, a heartfelt thank you for a shared, moving experience. Like a performer returning to the stage, Opera San José returns season after season because of you—our audience, patrons, and donors. Your support is our encore, the driving applause that keeps us going.

Opera is more than music; it’s a collection of stories that resonate with our own lives and emotions. Your generosity makes these stories come alive, from timeless classics to bold new works. Every gift, big or small, enables us to inspire, educate, and connect our community through opera. Thank you for keeping this beautiful art form vibrant and accessible.

Your gift makes a difference for us and has an impact! 

Did you know that:

• It costs between $650,000 and $1,250,000 to mount a production of an opera.
• Opera San José operates with a budget that relies on 60% of funds to come from contributed sources-and that means you, our institutional partners and our corporate and vendor partners.
• We host 60 artists in residence, house them locally and promote their growth and training so that they share their gifts with you and then bloom into larger roles on larger stages.
