Friends of Hampstead Garden Opera

Thank you to everyone who is already a Friend of HGO.  We wouldn’t be here without you.

If you’re thinking of joining, here are some of the benefits. You get to book before the public for every opera and concert. You’re invited to Friends-only events, including dress rehearsals, where you get the chance to watch a production come together before it opens. Regular newsletters keep you close to what’s coming next.

HGO receives no funding from government or public bodies. Tickets bring in roughly a third of what a production costs, and Friends, donors and charitable trusts make up the rest. Your annual subscription lets a young singer take on a major role and gain the experience to build a career.

The singers know it, too. They’re grateful, and so are we.

“Singing Poppea for HGO was transformative for my confidence and visibility as a young opera singer. I felt my performances evolve night after night, through an intense 10-day run of shows. Poppea was a dream role for me, and I was awarded the OffWestEnd award for my performance. I am hugely grateful to HGO for giving me the role, which has directly led to exciting new opportunities.”
