Gift a Scottish Opera membership to a fellow opera-lover

Gifting a Scottish Opera membership is a thoughtful way to share the magic and joy of opera with your nearest and dearest. Perfect for opera-lovers or those with a new-found interest in the art form, our Gift Memberships come with a range of benefits which our supporters can enjoy while helping to bring the best and boldest operas from the page to the stage, delighting audiences throughout Scotland.

We have various memberships available - Individual Friend, Joint Friends and Bronze Patron - which start from as little as £60 for one year. 

Gift a Friends membership so your fellow opera-lover can...

  • Benefit from a priority booking period on our productions. Friends are among the first to know what's going on at Scottish Opera so they can secure the seats they want!
  • Attend dress rehearsals. As long as they've booked tickets for the production, they'll be offered the chance to attend the dress rehearsal free of charge.
  • Enjoy study days, offering special insights into the operas being performed, talks, and recitals hosted in different areas. 
  • Visit opera houses at home and abroad. Recent group holidays have included trips to Glyndebourne, Welsh National Opera, the Semperoper in Dresden, Oper Frankfurt and the Metropolitan Opera in New York.
  • Receive regular issues of Brio, our supporters' magazine, to stay up to date with company events and performances, widen your knowledge through reading exclusive interviews with cast members and creative teams and find out about events in your local area.
  • Pre-order programmes so they receive them ahead of their booked performance.
  • Enjoy 20% off at Theatre Royal Café in Glasgow.


Gift a Bronze Patron membership so your fellow opera-lover can enjoy all of the above plus...

  • See their name in all our mainstage production programmes.
  • Get invitations to buy tickets to behind-the-scenes events, including Director's Presentations and the Scottish Opera annual Patrons' Dinners.
