Education Angels
Help us spread the magic of opera...
We're proud to be Scotland's national opera company and we've been taking opera to people of all ages across Scotland for over 50 years.
From very first experiences of live performance to those who have seen it all, our ground-breaking Education team is there every step of the way. Our Education Angels help to make their work possible.
You can make a difference from just £5 per month.
'As a teacher, I saw the inspirational work of Scottish Opera's Education Department. The experience for learners can be life-changing and deserves our support. They are our future, both as performers and as our audience.'

Reasons to join
As an Education Angel, your gift will support us in bringing opera to children and adults all over Scotland. In return, you'll receive regular updates and have the chance to see your gift in action by attending rehearsals and end-of-project performances.
'They all came away buzzing from excitement and were all singing opera on the way home in the bus. Please keep up your fantastic work of keeping music live, but more importantly bringing opportunities like this to the children who now have a memorable first experience of opera.'
