​

The success and sustainability of Berkshire Opera Festival is a direct reflection of the generosity and loyalty of donors like you. Unrestricted gifts made to BOF’s Annual Fund support year-round operating expenses and the 80% of performance and production costs not covered by ticket sales. In appreciation of your support, BOF offers many exclusive donor benefits during the summer season. Please see these benefits listed under the Annual Fund donor levels below.
