PAY WHAT YOU WISH!

Thanks to a recent grant from 4Culture, we are waiving our usual $25–$30 admission fee and offering this event under a “pay what you wish” model in 2025. This approach reflects our commitment to removing financial barriers and expanding access to high-quality opera for the broader community.

Appearance at Art Love Salon is courtesy of a grant from the Conru Foundation.
