Support the only professional opera company in Africa!

Thank you so much for considering this request! For any donation of $75 or more, you will be listed in Cape Town Opera's performance programs and annual report as a member of the American Friends Circle for 2025. All contributions are tax deductible in the US.

To give you an idea of the value and impact Cape Town Opera makes, here are a few figures for scale and prospective compared to what opera would cost in the US. I would argue the quality of the singing and production are better than most you would experience in America.

$420 Funds a talented high school student for a month, to receive weekly voice lessons, music theory and keyboard lessons, meals and safe transportation to and from.

$2,500 Funds a title role soloist in a mainstage production

$10,000 Funds all the costumes for a mainstage production

$25,000 Funds a mid-level staff salary for a YEAR!

$47,000 Funds an entire symphony orchestra for all rehearsals and 5 performances of a mainstage production

Our most expensive seats to performances cost around $32 while you can always attend for closer to $10, which is now less than a burrito bowl at Chipotle.
