About the Portland Opera Guild

Founded in 1960 by a group of philanthropic women dedicated to supporting opera in Portland and all of Oregon, Portland Opera Guild has evolved into an organization that generously supports the work of the association, and also has a portfolio of unique responsibilities and events which it managers for Guild membership.

From outstanding luncheons that explain the intricate details of each opera performance to acting as volunteers, Portland Opera Guild blends social time and networking with many other meaningful educational and philanthropic programs. The Guild welcomes you to join its membership and experience the organization!
