West Bay Opera Guild
Behind every great opera stands a GREAT
Guild!
West Bay Opera is no exception.
Our Guild’s mission is to support West Bay Opera. We are a group that passionately loves opera. The Guild manages the front-of-house tasks—taking tickets, selling refreshments, and putting on an enormous party for the cast and orchestra on opening nights—and hosting the opera previews. We also roll up our sleeves and work with fundraising projects that benefit West Bay Opera. Our membership administers and supports West Bay Opera’s fantastic Opera in the Schools program that reaches about 20,000 children yearly.
We celebrate with three annual events for ourselves and our guests, including performances by West Bay Opera singers, so we can get to know them “up close and personal.”
The perks of Opera Guild membership include free dress rehearsals, meeting with dynamic guest speakers or entertainers, the Opening Night Cast Party, and Holiday, Year-End, and Overture parties.
Annual dues are:
| Active Members | $25 | Attend all functions, can hold office, can vote at meetings, must commit to 30 hours work per year |
| Sustaining Members | $50 | Attend all functions, can vote at meetings, no minimum work commitment |
| Patrons of the Guild | $75+ | Attend all functions |
