What is Match the Momentum?
To mark Fort Worth Opera’s historic 80th anniversary season, the company is proud to launch Match the Momentum, Phase One of a four-year, future-forward fundraising campaign designed to unlock new possibilities for Fort Worth Opera and expand our reach throughout the community.
This season, the campaign aims to raise $125,000 in new and increased contributions—doubled to $250,000 through a generous matching challenge from devoted local patrons of the arts.
That means your gift has twice the impact:
​
$100 becomes $200
$500 becomes $1,000
$1,000 becomes $2,000
Why Your Support Matters
Opera is more than a night out at the theater—it’s a living, breathing art form that unites our community. Your gift helps Fort Worth Opera:
​
-
Present unforgettable performances of beloved classics and daring new works, connecting audiences across the Metroplex at Bass Performance Hall and other venues
-
Commission innovative new operas that amplify local voices and stories rooted in Fort Worth’s rich cultural heritage.
-
Showcase emerging talent, nurturing the next generation of artists who will inspire audiences for decades to come.
-
Expand K–12 education programs, giving thousands of students the chance to experience opera together—learning, singing, and celebrating classical music side by side.
-
Engage the community in libraries, museums, and cultural centers, creating moments of connection, empathy, and shared discovery.
This is more than a fundraising campaign—it’s a community movement.
When you give to Match the Momentum, you double your impact. Your support ensures Fort Worth Opera continues to break boundaries, foster the next generation of artists on stage and behind-the-scenes, and create unforgettable, memorable experiences for audiences of all ages.
