This season includes: 1. Mozart by Moonlight-opera concert with El Paso Symphony Orchestra at McKelligon Canyon 2. Sunday in the Park with George-mainstage production in May 2024. Two performances of this beloved Stephen Sondheim musical will be presented at the Abraham Chavez Theatre. 3. Community Engagement program-FREE performances throughout the community so everyone has the opportunity to enjoy our beautiful music and singers! 4. Education program-we have doubled our Education programming this year and will reach more than ever before.

Donations to El Paso Opera are vital to the continuation of our quality performances, our free community programs and our Education program. We are a very small organization with a large reach into the El Paso community. We contribute directly to El Pasoan’s quality of life! In addition, our shows contribute a large amount to the local economy by employing multiple artists, multiple crew members, and renting city venues. Our events help drive sales at surrounding restaurants, bars, parking garages and hotels.

We cannot do these things alone. Ticket sales typically only cover the cost of approximately 40% of a production’s expenses. Therefore, it is vital for donations and sponsorships to help us cover the remaining expenses as well as the expenses of our robust catalog of free programming.

Your commitment to support El Paso will help us continue to do all these things. By contributing to El Paso Opera, you will be directly affecting the quality of life for this community while helping us support the local economy. It’s the best of both worlds!

Thank you in advance for your consideration of support for El Paso Opera. We are determined to do our part to help our community heal from the emotional toll of the pandemic through the power of music and the arts. It is only through community support that El Paso Opera will continue to contribute to the quality of life of our wonderful city.

With gratitude, Arianne Marcee, Executive Director
