Opera Naples is closing its 2024-25 season with notable financial gains, including a 30% increase in ticket revenue that topped $300,000 and a 310% jump in sponsorship income. The growth came as the organization wrapped its fifth annual Festival Under the Stars and introduced the international Luciano Pavarotti Foundation Opera Naples Voice Competition, which drew over 400 applicants. To close out the fiscal year, Opera Naples launched a matching campaign, with donations of $150 or more matched up to $40,000 through June 30. Executive Director Melanie Kalnins credited community support for the season’s success and called for continued giving to offset cuts in government funding.
