About the company
San Diego Opera Association, doing business as San Diego Opera, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in San Diego, California, that has been registered with the federal government since January 2007. The organization supports the performing arts through the production and presentation of opera performances and related cultural programming. San Diego Opera has received federal grant support exclusively through the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), utilizing project grants to advance its mission of bringing opera and multidisciplinary arts education to the San Diego community.
San Diego Opera's federal grant funding history demonstrates a consistent focus on supporting creative production, artist compensation, and organizational resilience. From January 2022 through June 2028, the organization received four project grants totaling support for diverse initiatives. These include a $150,000 COVID-19 pandemic recovery grant awarded in January 2022 that supported personnel expenses and staffing costs critical to maintaining opera programming during the health crisis. The organization received funding to support artist fees for the premiere of "El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego," a commissioned work by Grammy Award-winning composer Gabriela Lena Frank and Pulitzer Prize-winning librettist Nilo Cruz, completed in November 2022. In July 2024, San Diego Opera received a project grant supporting "Words and Music," an opera and multidisciplinary arts education program designed to broaden public participation in the arts. Most recently, in June 2025, the organization was awarded a project grant extending through June 2028 to support performances of "Dolores," a new opera composition by Nicolas Benavides with libretto by Marella Martin Koch. These grants, all administered through the NEA's Promotion of the Arts program, reflect the organization's role as a primary grant recipient without identified subcontractors or partners in the federal award documentation.
