What your support enables…

Our Patrons are at the very heart of the Opera North family and their support is truly transformative.

From producing bold and inspiring work on stage, to nurturing emerging talent, and delivering our pioneering education and community outreach programmes, the generosity of our Patrons enables us to continue creating extraordinary experiences in all areas of Opera North’s work.

In these challenging times for the arts across the UK, the future of opera and classical music is facing greater uncertainty than ever before. Opera North is determined to ensure that everyone in the communities we serve has the opportunity to experience the uplifting power of music, and the generosity of our Patrons is vital in helping us to futureproof the Company for generations to come.
