If you appreciate the Puppet Opera and would like to assist us in our efforts to keep this unique art-form alive, we encourage you to consider making a donation to Opera in Focus. Your contributions help us fund the building of new Opera in Focus productions as well as in the costly care and maintenance/upkeep of our pre-existing inventory of stage equipment (some of which over 60 years old).
If you’d like to play a part in keeping the magic alive, there are a variety of ways you can contribute.
Checks made out to Opera in Focus can be mailed to our box office at:
3000 Central Road
Rolling Meadows,
Illinois
60008
If you’d like to submit an electronic contribution via PayPal, Zelle, or other online payment providers, you can reach out to us via our CONTACT page for instructions.
Cash donations may be given to any of our puppeteers or staff backstage (or left in the Tips/Donations jar in the lobby outside our theatre).
Thousands of people from all over the world have been enchanted by our unique craft since The Chicago Miniature Grand Opera first debuted nearly 100 years ago. With your help and support, we hope that the Puppet Opera will continue to entertain and enthrall newer audiences for many generations to come!
Opera in Focus wishes to give special recognition and thanks to the following patrons and benefactors for their generosity and support over the years:
