You’ve felt the power of live opera. Now, help fuel it.

Supporting the arts isn’t just generous, it is essential. it is a reflection of who we are and what we value as a community.

This was not an ordinary season. After the devastating tornado damaged our space just weeks before opening night, we had every reason to hesitate. But we didn’t. We pressed on because what we create together, through story, art, music, and community, matters. And so do you.

Your gift to Union Avenue Opera champions emerging artist, bold productions in original languages, and access to affordable world-class opera in the heart of St. Louis.

Every gift, no matter the size, makes an impact at UAO.

Your gift matters.
Be a part of what happens next.

Ready to make your year-end gift?

In an effort to reduce waste, we have scaled down the number of print programs that will be available during the 2025 Festival Season. Patrons who take a print program are encouraged to return it to an usher at the conclusion of the performance or to bring it back to the next performance
