Associates

Annual donation of £10,000*

At this key moment in our development, If Opera’s Founders invest in our artistic work which underpins the development of the company.

You will see your donation in action across the company – supporting our artists, developing new productions and enabling our What If? community programme to engage and inspire individuals and groups who have had little or no previous experience of opera.

We want to be responsive in recognising the generosity of our Associates, and the benefits outlined below can be tailored according to your interests:

  • Personalised support around all aspects of If Opera visits

  • Meet the creative teams

  • Invitations to attend rehearsals

  • Invitation to the First Night Party with cast and artistic team

  • Invitation to Pre-Season Launch party and other exclusive events

  • VIP Parking wherever possible

  • Access to the Belcombe Room and complimentary drinks

  • Tables/chairs provided in prime position for picnics

  • Priority booking and Member Pricing for opera

  • Newsletters plus personal updates from the If Opera team

  • Complimentary If Opera programme mailed in advance of the season

  • Acknowledgement as Associate in the season programme

*With gift aid, the gross value to If Opera of a donation of £10,000 is £12,500; higher rate taxpayers could reclaim up to £2,500 meaning a net cost to the donor of £7,500
