MATCH THE
MOMENTUM
Big Voices. Bright Futures.
Throughout Fort Worth Opera's 81st Season, we're expanding our acclaimed Education & Community Engagement programs to reach more students, families, and communities across North Texas—sparking curiosity, igniting creativity, and empowering young people to find their voice through opera.
Year Two Goal: $250,000
What is Match the Momentum?
Launched during Fort Worth Opera's 80th Anniversary Season, Match the Momentum is a four-year, $1 million campaign to expand the company's artistic and community impact—and secure a vibrant future for opera in Fort Worth.
Year One surpassed its goal, unlocking a dollar-for-dollar match to achieve more than $250,000 in campaign impact. Now we’re building on that success with a growing community of Momentum Makers, investing in the next generation of artists and audiences.
Angela Turner Wilson, General & Artistic Director
"When a student discovers their voice, when a family experiences opera together for the first time, or when a young artist realizes a dream, we are reminded why this work matters. Thank you for helping us share the joy of opera with our entire community."
OPERA FOR EVERYONE
Opera educates, inspires, and connects—uniting audiences through music and storytelling. With Match the Momentum, you're opening the door for more students and families to experience it firsthand.
