Partner Opportunities

Founded in 2000, First Coast Opera (FCO) is the only performing opera company serving northeast Florida. A registered non-profit, FCO produces fully-staged operas with live orchestra, and a number of smaller concerts, dinner theater and gala events. As interest grows, FCO has increased its audience by more than one third over the past season!

It is the mission of First Coast Opera to serve Northeast Florida with professional opera performances for the education,  cultural enhancement, and enjoyment of our communities, combining artistic excellence with the development of local and regional talent.

Why Partner with First Coast Opera?

We are seeking business partners to join us in advancing this mission. Your partnership will help achieve mutually-beneficial goals through:

  • Targeted exposure to our dedicated patrons via playbill ads, blogs, and social media mentions.

  • Personalized promotions designed to align with your company’s objectives.

  • Engaging e-blasts that highlight your support to our growing audience.

 

Investing in local arts strengthens communities, drives economic growth, and enhances your corporate reputation. As Forbes Magazine notes:

“A city with a vibrant artistic and cultural scene often attracts better talent, and a company that is directly involved with that vibrancy is set up to better retain and grow that talent. Businesses that support local arts and cultural organizations can add value to their corporate brand and their bottom line.”​
