Florida Grand Opera is calling on audiences to renew or purchase subscriptions and consider additional giving as it prepares its upcoming season of grand opera in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. The company is finalizing plans for new productions with full sets, costumes, and casts of international singers as part of its 85-year tradition of opera in South Florida. Subscriptions remain central to its model, but ticket revenue accounts for about 30 percent of the cost of staging each production, which relies on a large team of artists, musicians, and backstage crews. Florida Grand Opera is encouraging subscribers to make additional donations to help sustain this level of programming. Donors can receive access to dress rehearsals, a donor lounge, and special events, while also supporting education and outreach programs that bring opera to students, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and underserved communities across South Florida. More information about Florida Grand Opera and its upcoming season is available on the organization’s website, where patrons can learn more about subscription options and ways to give. By ML.
