The Knoxville Opera Guild (formerly East Tennessee Opera Guild) is a non-profit, volunteer organization created in 1992 to support Knoxville Opera Company and to provide a means of fellowship for opera lovers. Through fund-raising and educational activities, the Guild makes opera accessible to an increasingly diverse audience and enhances the quality of life in our community.
"I am humbled and honored to be at the head
of an opera company that
boasts one of the most active and successful support and volunteer
groups in North America. The Knoxville Opera Guild has a reputation
I was aware of before I ever set foot in Knoxville. As Knoxville
Opera is at the dawn of our Silver Anniversary, this fine support
organization will without doubt continue its remarkable work through
and beyond the next 25 years of our existence.
The Knoxville Opera Guild raises more money for Knoxville Opera
than other guilds do for companies twice our size. But it's not
just the financial support that makes the Guild so valuable. The
abundance of goodwill and roll-up-your-sleeves activity keeps
Knoxville Opera up and running! They are our donors, supporters,
ambassadors and best friends. It wouldn't be Knoxville Opera without
the Knoxville Opera Guild."
- Francis Graffeo, Knoxville Opera General Director
