Arias, bubbly, and pas de deux

On Saturday, 21 June, we’re rolling out the red carpet for the next edition of the International Young Patrons Gala. Let the rising stars of Dutch National Opera & Ballet blow your mind, immerse yourself in gala glamour, and show off your own dance skills at the party in the foyer. And the best part? By attending this event, you are supporting our talent programmes for emerging singers and dancers.

The Young Patrons Circle

The Young Patrons Circle is an international group of young donors of Dutch National Opera & Ballet, aged 25 to 40. It is a community of young professionals and creatives who, through their donations, support the talent programmes of Dutch National Opera & Ballet: Dutch National Opera Studio and the Junior Company of Dutch National Ballet.

As a token of appreciation for their support, we open doors throughout the year that would normally remain closed. We take the YPC backstage to the studios and workshops and organise exclusive events where they can meet singers, dancers, creators, and fellow Young Patrons. The gala is the most spectacular YPC event of the year.

Enjoy extra benefits at the gala and exclusive access to the annual programme—join the Young Patrons Circle.
