Opera Rara’s Artist Ambassadors work to raise the international profile of the charity, assist in the development of new projects and educational activities and feature in our recording and performance projects.

“I love to work with Opera Rara because they make fabulous operatic discoveries come to life for us all to enjoy. In this noisy world, this beautiful music from the past sings to our inner spirit. I feel that I am a part of a unique family of artists, researchers, and supporters who are passionate about the past made new.“

“Opera Rara is an invaluable institution that has broadened the horizons of the opera world, by rediscovering the great lost works of the past. No other institution has done as much for the world of opera in terms of research, recording, and education than Opera Rara, and we all owe them a debt of gratitude. Countless individuals such as myself have made their careers with the help of Opera Rara.“

Honorary Artist Patron

Opera Rara is very proud to have Renée Fleming, one of the world’s most famous singers, supporting our extraordinary work.

“Any lover of opera should be grateful for the existence of Opera Rara. I know the value of this work from my own experience recording Donizetti’s Rosmonda d’Inghilterra with them. Without Opera Rara, recordings like that just wouldn’t be made and countless musical treasurers would remain essentially lost, unheard and unappreciated by contemporary and future audiences.”
