Bringing Opera to New Audiences:
Arts For All Grant Sets the Stage for OPERA ON TOUR
We're thrilled to share that First Coast Opera has been named a 2026 Arts For All Grant recipient. This project is sponsored in part by the St. Johns Cultural Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. This funding will launch Opera on Tour, our new initiative offering a series of free, live opera performances presented in multiple locations throughout the county.
With your help, Opera on Tour can reach even more people in Northeast Florida. Please consider making a donation to support this program and help ensure that opera remains free and accessible for all.
What First Coast Opera fans are saying...
We so appreciate all of you at FCO. The staging and talent displayed in your productions rival those in Italy and New York. You overcome limitations and your talents and love of opera bring joy to us all. Thank you!
We LOVE being able to see Classical Opera right here in St Augustine! Keep doing what you're doing!
What a wonderful resource you are to our community. We are not “hard core” opera fans but do love the opportunity to partake in some culture and your productions have always been well done!
