BECOMING A FRIEND REASONS TO JOIN HGO
Without the support of our Friends, HGO could not continue – if you want to support our mission: Advancing Young Singers please join us.
The principal benefit enjoyed by our Friends is the Friends Rehearsal. All Friends are invited, in the run-up to each opera, to a rehearsal followed by the Chairman’s Reception. You can observe both casts in rehearsal with contributions from production director and music director. Then, at a catered reception, meet the directors and the singers. These are always most enjoyable occasions.
- Invitation to Friends Rehearsal & Chairman’s Reception
- Priority booking period
- News about all HGO activity
- Satisfaction in supporting young singers
