Annual Fund Donations

Annual fund donors provide Opera Columbus with essential operating support every season to ensure our productions and programs are onstage, in schools, and reaching our community. This support makes it possible for OC to employ artists and share timeless stories that have been loved for generations, and to design creative ways to share the most magnificent art form of opera. Thank you to our amazing annual fund donors.
