Overview

Mission

The purpose of the Opera Guild of Rochester is to promote the production, understanding and enjoyment of opera and classical vocal music in the Rochester region.

What it reported doing in 2024

We have many free services and programs at nominal cost. Free programs include lectures and recitals (attendance varies from about 80 to 100 per year for these events), meet-ups at a local theater for Met in HD broadcasts (attendance about 100 per year), our web-site, with an archive of lectures and essays and other information about opera, a YouTube channel with tapes of recitals and interviews; presentation of operas on DVD at a cost of $10 per person, with an attendance of about 100 per year. Aria Slams is an opportunity for local singers to perform an accompanied aria in public, receive feedback from a coach, and take home a video, at a cost of $30. The expenses of these programs are included in various categories such as artists, taping, printing, postage, miscellaneous, and event expenses for flowers, decorations, and refreshments.
