Have you ever wondered…
- who decides how an opera will be staged?
- who casts an opera?
- what happens at an opera rehearsal?
If your answer is YES, you may be interested in the Opera Boston Producers Circle.
Opera Boston has created the Producers Circle to give donors the opportunity to join the production team and learn about what goes into producing a fully staged opera. Donors may attend rehearsals, meet with singers and production staff, or enjoy a backstage tour of the Cutler Majestic.
Past "Producers" have told us how much they learned from this behind-the scenes look at the world of opera production, and how their experience has enhanced their appreciation of the field.
Producers Circle members may sponsor an entire production, or make a designated gift toward a specific singer or aspect of the production such as scenery costumes or lighting.
