Student Ticket Initiative

Students from around the county, many of whom have little to no experience with arts and culture, are desperate for an opportunity to attend San Diego Opera performances.

You can give them this new and valued experience by supporting the Student Ticket Initiative, which will directly provide over 1,500 tickets in the 2011 Season for local university and community college students. Our goal this year is to raise $150,000 in order to greatly increase the availability of student tickets and help meet the huge demand from students that has grown dramatically since the program began in 2002.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I am blown away by your generosity that allowed two students you've never met, to experience opera!” - Erilynn

“I am not your typical opera-goer. When a friend introduced me to opera I fell in love. I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to indulge in such beauty and culture. – Earl

“Your donations are perhaps more beneficial than you might have imagined. I hope someday to be in a position to do the same and provide opportunities for the youth of that time to be exposed to such splendid performances.” - Jamin
