Artist Sponsorship

Sponsoring Waterperry Opera Festival artists offers a unique chance to support the careers of young and emerging talent. Every year a new cohort of amazing artists join the festival. As a sponsor, you’ll have the opportunity to meet your sponsored artist, enjoy behind-the-scenes access to their preparation, and receive recognition in our program and on our website, plus a signed photo as a thank-you.

For Young Artists, your sponsorship funds critical development opportunities, including masterclasses, recording sessions, lessons, workshops, and professional resources like headshots and production photography. It also helps cover travel, food, and accommodation, making participation accessible to all. Sponsors can attend Young Artist rehearsals and masterclasses.

In return for sponsoring a principal singer or creative in either of our main productions, you will:

- Be invited to three 3 hour rehearsals in London, on dates that work for you.

- Enjoy lunch with your chosen artist, with the date and time to be mutually agreed.

- Receive a complimentary signed programme from the cast of the production.

- Be invited to 1 of our pre-performance drink receptions before a performance at the festival.

- Be suitably credited in the programme.

In return for sponsoring a Young Artist, you will:

- Be invited to one 3 hour YA rehearsal in London, on a date that works for you.

- Receive a complimentary signed programme from the YAs.

- Be suitably credited in the programme.
