The Ripple Is Growing: $9,250 Raised!

When we launched the Ripple Effect Campaign, we set an ambitious goal: raise $75,000 by the end of 2026—and turn that generosity right back around into more opera for our community.

We’re thrilled to share that $9,250 has already been raised!

That means we’ve officially passed our first $5,000 milestone, unlocking a FREE community performance of Hansel & Gretel: An Opera Encounter for Orange County families.

And we’re already closing in on the next one.

Just $750 Until Our Next Ripple

When the campaign reaches $10,000, LOOC will bring a FREE in-school opera program to an underserved Orange County elementary school.

This is exactly what we mean by the Ripple Effect.

Every contribution helps LOOC pay professional artists, create ambitious productions, train the next generation of performers, and build a strong professional opera company here in Orange County. But the impact doesn’t stop there. As each fundraising milestone is reached, LOOC unlocks another investment in the community—from free school performances and public programs to student tickets, accessible performances, and artist training.

The more you give, the more LOOC gives back.

There is still a long way to go before we reach $75,000, but the response so far has given us tremendous momentum—and there are many ways to be part of it.

You can make a gift and help us close the final $750 to our next milestone. You can share the campaign with a friend. And you can support LOOC simply by showing up for the work we create.

A thriving opera company needs donors. It also needs full houses, curious newcomers, returning audiences, students experiencing their first opera, and people who believe that exceptional professional opera belongs right here in Orange County.

We’re at $9,250. The next ripple begins at $10,000.
