Hatstand Opera: the best plan for a charity benefit concert or charity opera performance

Plan a charity benefit concert by Hatstand Opera, and raising funds for your favourite charity suddenly becomes fun again!

Most of the major charities we have helped raise funds for, including the NSPCC, the RNLI and the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, have booked an innovative Hatstand Opera show rather than a charity gala concert, to attract the widest range of loyal supporters and new potential donors.

You must have realised from the length of the applause how much people had enjoyed the evening. You did it all with such verve and panache, and combined beautiful music with fun and laughter. The evening was not only delightful but also a financial success as we raised over £12,000.

Charity Events that Work for You

Whatever your charity, large or small, and whatever your venue, from castle to back garden, a Hatstand Opera charity benefit performance can raise cash, profile and interest in your worthy cause. What’s more, you can relax in the knowledge that Hatstand Opera offer the full backup of a professional opera company to your event, from quality publicity to PR.

In short, we had a wonderful night and raised in excess of £3000 for the NSPCC which is a wonderful arrangement - our guests have a great night and we raise a fantastic amount for the charity.
