Patrons for the Future! A member plan to support the projects of the Philippine Opera Company

BECOME A MEMBER! Share in the excitement of Philippine Opera Company's Future

MEMBERSHIP IN THE FRIENDS

Every year the combined contributions of Friends help to support the exciting artistic initiatives and education projects of the Philippine Opera Company.

Membership support is critical to the operation of the Philippine Opera Company. Our commitment to low ticket prices means that even sold-out houses cover only half our costs, the remainder must be raised in the form of contributions from dedicated individuals like you. With the help of our Friends, we can continue to produce innovative new productions of classic and contemporary operas. Members also provide the means for us to nurture young Filipino singers, to showcase composers emerging in the world of opera, and to develop new opera audiences and extend our education programs in the schools. With the Friends support, POC can continue to present quality stage productions as well as tours, free outreach concerts and education programs for children.
