Opening Night Gala
Florida Grand Opera’s black-tie gala is the major annual fundraiser for FGO following the Opening Night performance of the season. Held on the Lynn Wolfson Stage of the Sanford and Dolores Ziff Ballet Opera House of the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County, the festivities include dinner and dancing as well as an exclusive chance to mingle with the evening’s opera stars.

After Opera Parties
After each production’s Opening Night in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Lyric and Crown Jewel Society donors have the opportunity to dine with the singers, directors, conductors, designers, musicians who make each individual production possible. The evening may include cocktails, buffet dinner, and a brief program.

Master Classes
These audience education events play an important role in the training of professional singers, whose performances are frequently raised to new levels by one-on-one coaching with an important guest artist. Featuring members of the Young Artist Studio, the master classes provide donors with an exclusive inside look at the process of vocal technique and musical coaching.

Donor Exclusive Engagement Opportunities
Held both in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, additional events are scheduled throughout the season for FGO donors to socialize with other like-minded opera lovers, Young Artists, and even mainstage stars! By invitation only, these events allow FGO to express appreciation and galvanize its family of wonderful opera patrons.
