Bourbon & BBQ: 2025 Fundraiser

Please join Guerilla Opera at our annual fundraiser to support rebellious works of opera theater and celebrate Boston’s new music community! In the heart of Boston at Roxbury’s Bully Boy Distillers, enjoy award-winning spirits and delicious food provided by New England Culinary Arts Training, a social enterprise that provides job training to adults facing barriers to employment and financial stability.

It will be a night of great eats & drinks and mingling with Boston’s vibrant classical and new music community. Also, you’ll get a sneak peek behind our upcoming world premiere of Ululations and Gurgles of the Invisible — a groundbreaking new interdisciplinary opera that centers artists from the deaf community as the main narrative voice — and play games, trivia, and more. Your generous support helps us host community events, train the next generation of opera talent both on and off the stage, and present innovative performances.
