Mini Events – Just My Style

Small, themed and hosted in private homes and other chosen settings, Sarasota Opera's Mini Events are friend-raisers rather than performances. Individual supporters design each gathering, whether a sit-down dinner, an outing or a recital, and absorb its costs, so all proceeds go to the company; guest lists generally stay under 50. The slate posted so far includes A Little Holiday Magic, a Tillman Recital and All Aboard for Brunch, and the opera is still recruiting hosts toward a goal of a dozen offerings. An earlier Around the World season produced evenings such as A Bit of India and an Argentine Adventure capped at 32 guests.
