Patron's Initiative

Membership of The Patron’s Initiative offers donors a unique relationship with the entire Company through its programme of events. These events enable Patrons to

• Gain a first hand insight into the logistics of putting on an opera
• Share the creative vision of the artistic team
• Attend intimate musical evenings at exclusive country houses

The support from our Patrons is invaluable to us and has set a new standard of support for the Company.

Liz Bramall on being a Patron

“Being a member of The Patron’s Initiative is very rewarding and hugely enjoyable. It is wonderful to support to the wide ranging programme of work Opera North produces and, at the same time, have so much fun at the events that take place throughout the year.

Our membership has really brought us to the heart of the Opera North family. I hope that many people will join me and become members of the Patron’s Initiative.”
