Every $2 You Give Becomes $3 for Opera — Through September 14
From August 1st to September 14th 2025, every $2 raised will be matched with $1 from CHEF — with no processing or administrative fees.
Livermore Valley Opera has partnered with the Community Health & Education Foundation (CHEF) for this special Raise the Curtain on the Power of Opera fundraising campaign.
Together, we’re working to raise $50,000 by the end of August. When we reach that goal, CHEF will contribute an additional $25,000 — bringing us to a total of $75,000 in support for world-class opera right here in Livermore.
For over three decades, Livermore Valley Opera has brought world-class productions and vibrant community programs to the Tri-Valley — delighting opera lovers and first-time attendees alike. Our commitment to artistic excellence is matched by our passion for inspiring, educating, and entertaining audiences of all ages.
But ticket sales cover only 40% of our annual production costs — the rest depends on generous supporters like you. Every donation, large or small, helps ensure the magic of opera continues to flourish in our community.

Produce Exceptional Mainstage Performances
