Mission

Founding members approved four guiding purposes of the Guild:

​

1. to support student artists in the UA Opera Theatre program;

2. to increase the number of ticket purchasers, donors, and fans;

3. to enhance the visibility of opera at UA, in Tuscaloosa, and beyond;

4. to extend opera through outreach and education for diverse audiences in the community.
