Discover opera's past. Protect its future.
We are rewriting operatic history, and we need your help.
Opera Rara is a charity that does not receive any public funding. None of our work is possible without the generosity of our supporters, and our treasured Friends and Patrons play a crucial role in our success. Our supporters refer to Opera Rara as a “family”. Many have donated for years, if not decades. They enjoy seeing the impact of their support through a close relationship with our artistic process, witnessing operatic history in the making at once-in-a-lifetime performances and nurturing the next generation of talent.
We invite you to become a member of our family of supporters.
Through creating partnerships, Opera Rara is shaping the future of opera
Gramophone Magazine on Opera Rara's new vision
"Opera Rara was named Label of the Year at the 2024 Gramophone Awards. The accolade was a long time coming. As a record label, Opera Rara had spent decades doing everything that Gramophone’s critics and readers delight in – offering excellent recordings of novel repertoire prepared with pride, passion and love... As it counts down to its 60th anniversary, Opera Rara is setting its sights rather higher."
