8 ways to elevate the performing arts in Hawai’i
Opera has deep roots.
Opera has been part of island culture for more than a century. Dating back to the 1850s, there are stories of Queen Emma singing in the chorus of Verdi’s Il Trovatore and her husband, King Kamehameha IV serving as the stage manager. Hawai’i Opera Theatre is proud to ensure that vibrant opera productions continue to captivate audiences of all ages here at home—but, only with the generous support of community members like you.
If you have made a personal connection to opera over the years, please consider participating in the individual giving option that is the best fit for you.
