Support Opera Ebony — Give Today

WHY

For over five decades, Opera Ebony has done what no other institution in America has: sustained a home for Black artists in classical music, on our own terms, without apology and without waiting for permission. We are not a diversity initiative. We are the oldest continuously operating Black opera company in the world — a legacy institution built by artists who refused to be told opera wasn’t theirs.

Every voice we develop, every new work we commission, every young singer we send onto the world’s stages carries that history forward. Your gift doesn’t just fund a performance — it sustains an institution that has already outlasted every reason people said it couldn’t.

HOW

Your support goes directly into the work: new opera commissions like OSHUN / Two Corners, premiering as part of our Spring 2028 Re-Debut; the Benjamin Matthews Vocal Competition, awarding over $20,000 annually to the next generation of world-class talent; masterclasses with artists like Brian Stokes Mitchell; and community concerts that keep the American Spiritual — a cornerstone of this nation’s musical heritage — alive and evolving.

DO IT NOW

Opera Ebony is building toward its most consequential season in a generation — and momentum like this doesn’t wait. Your gift today puts you at the foundation of what comes next: new works on the New York stage, new artists launched onto the world’s, and a company that has never stopped moving forward.

New ground. Familiar purpose. Give today — and be part of the next chapter.
