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.

Scenes from the Opera

Reviews & Press

"Whatever Into the Woods is, opera or musical theater, the production by St. Petersburg Opera is a landmark for the Tampa Bay area, whose theater companies and musical organizations have been strangely timid, to put it kindly, about taking on the work of the greatest living American musical theater composer. I've been covering the performing arts for the St. Petersburg Times since 1991, and this is the first top-level local production of Sondheim I've seen here."

SPO’s Into the Woods - John Fleming, St. Petersburg Times
