Want to learn more about opera? Want to get to know staff and meet artists? Want to meet other opera-lovers who enjoy great parties and appreciate wonderful singing? The Des Moines Metro Opera Guild is just the ticket! With three chapters to choose from (or we’ll start one in your city!), the Guild educates its own membership while building opera awareness and encouraging audience development through its extensive education and outreach activities. In addition, each Guild chapter engages in fundraising activities that generate much appreciated support for the festival season.
