Thank you for letting me go
to the opera show. I like it a
lot, a black man coming from
the streets loved your opera
show. I listen to rap, but
when I hear opera it's cool
because humans have such
a loud voice, and it was
something new for me.
- Matt S.
Golden Gate Opera has become an important part of the special things Marin County
offers to support its children... GGO has brought to at-risk children and
students throughout Marin County the experience of professional opera.

Student Shows
In-theatre student performances of full productions
GGO has partnered with area school districts to bring children from disadvantaged schools to student performances.
From 1998-2003, through a contribution from The Mayor of San Francisco's Every Child Can Learn Foundation GGO
has been able to underwrite the attendance of 300 San Francisco public school children each year. GGO has made
the commitment to hold at least one student performance of each of our public productions.
Tickets to Performances
Through public and private sponsorships, GGO has been able to provide tickets for in-need families and children to
attend our public performances free of charge. GGO has developed relationships with numerous community-based
organizations that serve this population, including:
Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Francisco & the Peninsula
Home Away from Homelessness
Bayview Opera House of Hunter's Point
Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco
Raphael House
