"A revolution in the arts is underway. This production marks the beginning of this new movement in the arts in America and now in Tidewater.
This is the first independent, grassroots group to stage a fully developed opera production here.
No board of rich patrons, prominent citizens and attorneys, no years of development...
The rules have changed."
--John Campbell, Art Song Update

As with any arts organization, and especially as one of our size, donations from people like you are what allow us to survive. Without contributions from our community, we would not be able to present the high quality musical performances or the educational events that made our first season so successful. We at Tidewater Opera Initiative are also committed to keeping ticket prices for our events extremely affordable so that everyone can enjoy the life-changing experience of live classical music. As of now, every one of our staff and musicians is a volunteer or works for a small stipend. We would love the opportunity to be able to pay all of our musicians for their exceptional talents. If you love music, if you're passionate about education, or if you just cherish this community we call home, we ask that you consider donating to TOI today. No gift is too small and every contribution is gratefully received.
