Patrons’ Circle
The Opera Awards Foundation raises funds to provide bursaries to artists working towards a career in opera, from singers and conductors to directors and designers.
Our Patrons’ Circle allows individuals to support and engage with this next generation of operatic talent. Recent Patrons’ Circle events include a showcase for our Bursary Winners at a stunning private home in Westminster, a Duets Masterclass at Canada House with Adrianne Pieczonka and Gerald Finley, and dinner at Mosimann’s with Lawrence Brownlee.
