DONATE

Your donation to Cedar Rapids Opera does more than just fund a show; it supports a vibrant community of artists, musicians, production staff, and more. Each gift plays a crucial role in bringing world-class performances to life and enriching the cultural fabric of our community.

Ticket sales cover only a small percentage of our production costs. We rely on your generosity to sustain and elevate our artistic endeavors.

Join us in making opera accessible and unforgettable for everyone.
