As you explore the newly posted Season 58 events, please note that the main website still reflects Season 57 programming and member amenities. While many of these amenities will continue into Season 58, the fully updated Season 58 website will officially launch later this summer.
We encourage you to become a member now so you can begin enjoying the Palm Springs Opera Guild’s (PSOG) benefits immediately. Remember, PSOG memberships are now offered on a rolling basis — meaning your membership remains active for one full year from the date you join.
Become a member and experience the beauty and brilliance of opera through curated access to performances, receptions, and exclusive cultural engagements. Connect with a community of opera enthusiasts like yourself.
Membership benefits include access to learning opportunities, networking, outstanding opera entertainment, and ultimately, shows your commitment to supporting the longevity of the operatic arts.
Your tax-deductible contribution supports young opera singers in advancing their careers. Our Vocal Competition has expanded nationally, drawing exceptional talent from across the United States.
Your support also brings opera to over 20,000 students in the Palm Springs and Desert Sands Unified School Districts and helps underwrite beloved free public concerts, including our annual Opera in the Park.

Membership Levels & Benefits
Our membership levels are inspired by the language of music — a reflection of both our values and the journey we invite each member to take. From Studente and Professore, which honor learning and mastery, to Solo, Duet, and Ensemble, which celebrate individual expression and collaborative connection, each name represents a stage of growth and engagement. The tempo markings — Andante, Allegro, and Allegretto — evoke a sense of movement and momentum, while Crescendo and Bravissimo capture the spirit of rising impact and excellence. Together, these levels create a progression that feels dynamic, artistic, and purposeful, reinforcing our belief that every member plays a meaningful role in a larger, evolving composition.
Note: All seated events are dependent on membership level and/or availability.
Access to complimentary seats at some events is on a first-come, first-served basis and may be subject to availability.
