Welcome to The Opera Insider Salon

Micropatronage: an old concept made new

Pavarotti’s first singing lessons were a gift from his teacher because he couldn’t pay. Caruso’s first publicity photo shows him wearing a bed sheet as a toga… because his one dress shirt was in the laundry.

Imagine helping the next Pavarotti or Caruso to achieve his dreams. Here, in the Salon, that's exactly what you can do. The Opera Insider proudly introduces the concept of Micro-Patronage to the world of music. Open your home, offer a ride or dinner, donate frequent flyer miles or hotel points and help give the next generation of opera professionals a chance at their big break. The Salon is also the place to engage in meaningful discussions about opera today, find a mentor to help you understand Wagner, Baroque music, or costume design, and to tell your favorite opera anecdotes.

Whether you’re a Patron or Starving Artist, here is where you can request and offer either monetary or in-kind support. Please exercise caution and good judgment in both your offers and your requests.

Thank you for loving and supporting opera!
