Friends of First Coast Opera

The Friends of First Coast Opera provides volunteer support to the opera company through assistance with Box Office, Ushering, Membership, Publicity, Artist Hospitality, Fundraising Events, and other ways.
Meetings are held based on the opera's performance season, sometimes once a month, sometimes every other month, but always on Tuesdays at 1:30 p.m. at Marsh Creek Country Club.
Annual membership dues are $20 per person. If you would like an “operatunity” to join the Friends, please email us for a membership form.
