Accessibility and Health

A Fundraiser for 51 Walden

All Opera51 performances are benefit fundraisers to support operation of the 51 Walden facility.  Almost all performers and staff are either unpaid or paid small stipends.  Proceeds contribute valuable funds to the maintenance and operation of 51 Walden, a community performing arts resource supporting hundreds of local residents each week throughout the year.

Donations to support 51 Walden / Opera51 can be made directly by clicking here, or by sending a check payable to "51 Walden" to P O Box 251, Concord, MA 01742.  Please indicate "Opera51" on the memo line of your check.  51 Walden is a 501(c)3 organization.  (Opera51 is part of 51 Walden, not an independent entity.)
