The Guild of Kentucky Opera

What is the Guild?

The Guild of Kentucky Opera is the volunteer support arm of Kentucky Opera. The major purposes of the Guild are to provide volunteer help and support to Kentucky Opera, to advocate for opera in the community, to support Kentucky Opera's education efforts, and to raise funds for Kentucky Opera. The Guild's administrative expenses are covered largely through dues collected annually ($35 for an individual, $50 for a family, and $15 for full-time students).
