Our Patrons are central to the success of Wild Arts, enabling us to sustainably develop our Young Artists programme, our engagement with primary schools, our increasing national profile, and our tour, which sustainably brings world-class opera to an ever-growing audience.
Please let us know if you would like your support to go towards a specific area of our work - our outreach, our operas, our opera evenings, our other concerts, or even a specific geographical region of our tour. We will ring-fence your support and use it only for those projects.

Production sponsors will be invited to singer auditions and the initial presentation by the stage director in the autumn, the model box showing by the designer in the spring, coaching sessions by our honorary patrons, and rehearsals in May and June.
You can sponsor any number of costumes at £500 per costume. You will receive a unique drawing of the costume, signed by the designer.

Our productions rely on new realisations for just seven instruments, bringing the colours of each instrument vividly to life and showcasing the talent of our chamber musicians. You will receive your own signed copy of the arrangement.

The success of each performance rests on the quality of each and every player, and we pride ourselves on the quality of our ensemble.

By supporting a ‘cover’ singer, you are enabling them to learn the role, attend rehearsals, learn from and be mentored by the established artists who they are shadowing, perform in a young artist showcase to which we will invite industry professionals, and be ready to save the day and go on to perform the role in the actual performance.
They will also be coached by our patron Roderick Williams OBE, one of the world’s most eminent baritones.
£750
An opera production relies on a range of key skills and knowledge. Carpenters, costume experts, stage managers, writers, linguists and of course musicians including the repetiteur, who plays the whole orchestral score on the piano for rehearsals and also coaches the singers.
From 2023, Wild Arts will give opportunities for young people to shadow & learn from the top professionals. Please get in touch with your personal area of interest.
£650 - £1,350
Our education plans and environmental ideals are not so different. Everything in our world lives and grows, and we must feed and nurture our art for it to survive. That means working with children, supporting young artists and creatives, and inspiring and giving opportunities to the people who will sustain the arts in the future.
A tree is only as strong as its roots.
Unless you ask us to ring-fence it for something specific and special to you, we will spend half our sponsors' funds on developing talent and bringing opera and music to young people.
