Mini Events are intimate events held in private homes and special locations, with themes and activities to engage the community - connecting new and old friends.

We are grateful to live in such a welcoming and supportive community! At Sarasota Opera, we especially love meeting new people and helping to form new friendships and experiences.

You can help us in this endeavor by considering hosting a Mini Event during the coming year. Our goal is 12 Mini Event offerings!

HOW MINI EVENTS WORK:

• Consider hosting a small event - Mini Event - with a special theme - be it a sit-down dinner in a beautiful setting, an informative experience, a unique adventure, or any number of creative ideas you might consider or partner with friends to create.
• To help spark ideas, we have made the theme this year Mini Events from Around the World! You can click below to view a list of Mini Event ideas.
• Contact Melissa Voigt at Sarasota Opera to discuss your ideas, timeframe, maximum number of guests, and price per person.
• After the date and theme are set, your event will be listed with the other Mini-Events for the Sarasota Opera Development staff to take reservations and guest payments.
• Your contribution will include the expenses associated with the event, so that all the proceeds go to Sarasota Opera, AND you will receive a tax-deductible for your costs. (Save your receipts!)

Do not hesitate to reach out to Melissa Voigt at (941) 366-8450, Ext. 581 or [email protected] with any hosting ideas or questions.
