Opera San José offers
a range of sponsorship options that will expand your company’s
visibility on a local and regional level, enhance your philanthropic
reputation in the community, market your products/services to a
desired client base and offer valued employee perquisites.
Recent studies have
shown that opera patrons are the most loyal and passionate audiences.
They carry that support over to a brand or company that shares this
interest, and with Opera San José’s critically
acclaimed performances now at the new
California Theatre, interest in our company has increased
dramatically!
Your company can
choose to sponsor a specific performance or make the ultimate
statement to the community by underwriting an entire season.
Advertising opportunities are available via Opera San José’s
newsletter that is distributed to 15,000 readers five times a year.
Rates start at $800 for the entire season.
On the other hand,
your company may opt to support Opera San
Jose’s K-12 educational curriculum. These programs include a
variety of in-school workshops, such as “Let’s Make An Opera!”, (a unique 15 session project where students create, produce
and present their own music theatre performance), and our student
matinee series. These programs also reach those throughout Silicon
Valley who represent a broad cross-section of people of all ages,
ethnic backgrounds and economic levels.
