Chautauqua Opera Guild

Building Future Opera Audiences Together

The Chautauqua Opera Guild serves as the advocacy group in support of the Chautauqua Opera Company. We invite you to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Chautauqua Opera Company and Norton Hall with us this season!
 
With over 30 events this season, opera has something for everyone, from gorgeous mainstage productions in the amphitheater and Norton Hall, to recitals and Open-Mic Nights in the Atheneaum Parlor, to the surprising ‘Opera Invasion’ series happening all over the grounds, and much more.
 
In addition to these events, your membership supports our Children’s Opera Education program, as well as Chautauqua Opera’s incredibly talented Young Artists. Guild members have the exclusive opportunity to get to know these rising stars first-hand by joining the Adopt-an-Artist program and becoming ‘Opera Parents’. Now even the younger members of your family can join the fun with our new ‘Junior Membership’ category!
 
We hope you will join us this season in supporting all that Chautauqua Opera has to offer!
