Give the gift of opera


How many people do you have on your seasonal gift-giving list? How many of those people fall into the "impossible-to-buy-for" category? Opera Omaha can help you with that.
Violetta (played by Inna Dukach), is hard-to-buy-for. She wants opera tickets.

We offer a two-performance package as a mini subscription. It includes a ticket to both of our remaining productions in our 2012-2013 season. One ticket to both the Jun Kaneko production of Mozart's The Magic Flute and to Bartok's Bluebeard's Castle with Samuel Ramey in the title role can be purchased for as little as $32 total. That is a fantastic deal! You could send two people to professional opera productions, not once, but twice, for $64. Wow!

There are a few bonuses that accompany this fantastic offer. See the list below for more information and then call us at 402-346-4398 to cross those wonderful, hard-to-buy-for people off your holiday gift list. Our ticket office is open to be your one-stop-shop Monday through Friday from 9:00AM to 5:00PM. We're waiting for your call!

Subscriber bonuses:

Free, uncomplicated ticket changes from one day to another. For example, if you purchase tickets to our Friday evening shows and the gift recipient can't attend on Friday, the tickets can be swapped for tickets to our Sunday matinee. This is accomplished with one phone call to our offices. No complicated process or requirements.

Additional tickets are available at the discounted, subscriber rate.

Our subscribers are the first to know about our upcoming special events and our season announcements.
