It’s hard to improve on a subscription to LA Opera. After all, nothing else takes you on the same stunning journey through more than 300 years of history and around the world, created and presented by some of the greatest artists and artisans in almost every discipline. But there’s one thing we can think of to take your subscription to the next level: membership with Friends of LA Opera. That’s because Friends get great benefits to elevate their opera going experience and deepen their understanding of the art form—all while supporting a nonprofit organization (us!) that brings the performing arts to our community. 

Here are just a few of our supporters’ favorite benefits: 

1. Go behind the scenes. When you join Friends of LA Opera, you’ll be invited to a special behind-the-scenes tour led by an LA Opera staff member. You’ll walk the backstage hallways of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, enjoy a front row view of the orchestra pit, and learn more about how our stage is brought to life with the thrilling sights and sounds of opera. 
2. See opera as it takes shape.   You’ll get a peek at a production before it’s finished at final dress rehearsals of LA Opera productions. 
3. Make intermission (almost) as good as the main event. Located on the second floor of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, the Allegro Lounge offers a private, members-only bar open both pre-performance and during intermission. You’ll connect with fellow opera lovers and enjoy complimentary coffee, tea, water, and light snacks. 
4. Get more of all things opera.   We know our supporters are major opera buffs. (We’re right there with you.) When you join Friends of LA Opera, you’ll get invites to events like holiday recitals, master classes, and more. 
5. Make sure you get the best seats in the house.   As a thank you for everything our supporters do for LA Opera, you’ll get to order tickets before the general public. Donors get the pre-pre-sale. 
6.  Find even more discounts.   When you use your membership card, you’ll enjoy special discounts and offers at a variety of downtown restaurants and hotels.
