    Season 7, Celebrating The Art Of SingingIn this year, when performing arts organizations must adapt or shut down, Gulfshore Opera has adjusted to the times by offering “Opera al Fresco”. As we celebrate the art of singing, you will find that most of our high season concerts include an open air venue and many social events have optional outdoor seating. Social distancing safety measures have been put into effect to keep audience and

    artists on track with CDC guidelines. These safety measures include engaging more regionally based artists to avoid air travel. Our new locally based group, GO Divas, toured the region in fall and will be back by popular demand in the spring. Also the Miami based Latin Divos join us twice this season for a fun evening of “Popera”.We continue to provide a wide variety of vocal music concerts to diverse audiences with several touring concerts ranging from Latin American, Italian and Irish music to the World of Lloyd Webber and an all Verdi opera concert.While we continue to perform at Artis—Naples and CPAC in Punta Gorda, we are excited to expand our reach to the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall in Ft. Myers where we make our long anticipated debut with a vivid original production of Pucinni’s La Bohème, rescheduled for January 24.We are particularly grateful to St. Leo the Great Catholic Church in Bonita Springs for the use of various locations on their beautiful campus. Our Breezeway series there has been very popular and our signature fundraising Gala concert and dinner will take place there on February 28.It has been a difficult year for all of us and we miss our friends who, for health reasons, are not able to join us in person. Through it all, Gulfshore Opera remains healthy thanks to our small staff, low overhead and especially to our loyal and generous Maestro Club donors, the Board of Directors and Trustees.From the whole GO Team, we hope that this season’s concerts, social events and full scale production will continue to enrich your lives, keeping us all connected through the art of singing.

    Our 2020/21 season is taking place during a period of unprecedented difficulty for everyone, not least the performing arts. We are conscious of our mission and desire to serve our audiences in three counties and the grants we have been given to fulfill this, while keeping our artists and patrons safe. We recognize the healing power of live music so Gulfshore Opera has responded by creating a series of innovative and safe opportunities to bring original concerts

    and special events to our patrons. Thanks for the team’s research to ensure that Gulfshore Opera can continue to bring high quality vocal music to Southwest Florida.

    Gulfshore Opera’s work with young people through the Harmony Choir program has been hard hit by the pandemic but will be enthusiastically and fully resumed at the earliest safe opportunity.

    Our Board has been strengthened by two new members, John Wright and Elaine Christian who bring valuable experience and local knowledge. We are most grateful to our Board members and our Trustees, who continue to demonstrate their support in so many ways. We are deeply grateful for all the practical and financial support that we have received to date and trust that we will be able to continue to bring you the music you love through socially spaced concerts, well managed and safe social events.

    Gulfshore Opera is a resilient and flexible company, with high hopes for the future. Your participation now in whatever ways are right for you helps us to promise that we will be there in future seasons to delight you with staged performances, beautiful voices and the thrill of live performance.
