Friends of Opera University of Nebraska-Lincoln

We are an all-volunteer organization, so our operating costs are minimal. Nearly 100% of every donation is used in some way to further our mission, which is:

To support and enhance opera at UNL and to promote appreciation of opera, and attendance of opera performances, at UNL and throughout our state.

We are a qualified 501(c)(3) public charity, so your donations are tax deductible.

Your Friends of Opera donations provide:

• Direct support to University of Nebraska-Lincoln Opera’s annual budget
• Support for the Amahl and the Night Visitors project, which makes the popular Gian Carlo Menotti Christmas opera available to Lincoln’s 5th graders
• UNL scholarships for talented undergraduate and graduate students
• Direct subsidies for special needs, such as guest artists, guest conductors and vocal coaches
• Support for the Metropolitan Opera Nebraska District Auditions
