Friends of the Opera

Friends of the Opera, or FOTO, is a group to help meet the increasing need for additional volunteer aid for Opera Carolina. FOTO offers the opportunity to meet new people through events, good food, volunteering, and of course, Opera Carolina's annual opera productions. FOTO members nurture others who are interested in learning more about opera and partner with Opera Carolina to promote its presence within the Charlotte region.
