We offer standard sponsorship packages, as well as tailored packages that can be specifically crafted to meet your company’s business and corporate citizenship goals. Your donation may qualify your company for specific tax-deductible benefits.
Corporate partners enjoy knowing that all net proceeds from gifts are channeled directly to our education programs — giving your company a vital role in fostering future creative thinkers, strategists and innovators — in an era when art and music programs, essential for developing these skills — are disappearing from curricula.
Opera Ball and Event Sponsorships
Opera Ball is our premier event, igniting the season’s opening night with pageantry. It is attended by more than 750 highly influential Opera enthusiasts and prominent patrons and is covered by the top tier media, including Town & Country, The Food Network, San Francisco Chronicle, US Weekly, etc. (See reviews and check out our gallery.). We also host exclusive signature events over the course of the year that offer our sponsors plenty of opportunity to extend the impact of opera in the community and help make a difference in the lives of more than 55,000 children.
Corporations can choose from a variety of sponsorship packages: ranging from high-impact “Presenting” levels to buying a table for 10 business associates, clients or prospects! Download the Opera Ball Sponsorship Brochure.
