Sponsorship of Opera Columbus brings recognition within a highly desirable demographic. Like most opera companies, Opera Columbus’ patron base tends, on average, to be affluent, well-educated professionals. In general, they are quite selective as to the businesses they patronize. We have found that our patrons tend to look favorably upon businesses that support organizations with which they have an interest. Opera Columbus patrons are typically passionate about opera in general, and Opera Columbus in particular, and they like to patronize those businesses that support us.
