Corporate Sponsorships
There are a number of ways to support SPO. Donations go directly to supporting our mainstage productions, as well as our educational objectives through our Emerging Artists program and outreach performances across the Tampa Bay Area. Contributing is easy and comes with a variety of perks depending on the amount you wish to contribute
St. Petersburg Opera Company is a not-for-profit corporation in good standing in the State of Florida. We have been granted 501(c)3 status by the IRS so your charitable contributions are fully tax deductible to the extent permissible by law.
Advertising in our programs also helps support SPO. Our ad rates are a bargain! And your ad appears in our monthly email newsletters as well as the opera playbills. For more information on advertising, email Mark Sforzini, Executive Director, at
