Come learn about the latest innovative projects supported by OPERA America’s grant programs. Building Opera Audiences grants, supported by the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation, help further groundbreaking projects designed to generate new and more frequent opera attendance. The Opera Fund: Audience Development grants help companies develop deeper relationships with audiences through in-depth learning experiences structured around new and infrequently produced American operas and music-theater works.
