During its illustrious history the Knoxville Opera Guild has established itself as a leader in our country‚s operatic volunteer organizations by contributing over one million dollars to Knoxville Opera.  This inspiring story of success is thanks to the committed efforts of the Guild‚s visionary founding directors and more than one thousand individuals.  Their service to the cultural fabric of the East Tennessee region by supporting Knoxville Opera has been nothing short of extraordinary.
 
Every year, members of the Guild enjoy a myriad of unique social activities, special performances, and opportunities to assist in the operations of Knoxville Opera.  Every season‚s event calendar, including exclusive dinners with opera stars, the glittering
Opera Ball, and the Rossini Festival Italian Street Fair, provide an opportunity for you to
come together with old and new friends who enjoy participating in the cultural life of our community. It is my pleasure and privilege to invite you to join our family. Thank you for your support! —Brian Salesky, Knoxville Opera General Director
