Our Supporters

Opera Rara’s projects are only made possible by the generosity of our supporters, who believe in our mission to restore, record, perform and promote the forgotten operatic heritage of the 19th and early 20th centuries. We would like to take this opportunity to thank those individuals and foundations who have made a gift to our Annual Fund. Your continued support is vital.
