Keeps professional opera thriving in Iowa.

Because of supporters like you, Des Moines Metro Opera remains one of America's "must-see" summer opera festivals—recognized by The New York Times as "one of the country's most successful smaller companies doing adventurous repertory in a 467-seat space."
