Not a Tempo member? Now that's a tragedy.

Tempo is a membership program for both opera newbies and buffs ages 21-39.

Your $40 Tempo membership includes exciting benefits to help you get acquainted with Minnesota Opera.

In addition to Opening Night Tickets, Tempo brings members closer to opera through a look behind the scenes and introductions to the singers and creative team behind each production.

Tempo also connects opera-goers socially through exclusive programming.

Finally, through Young Friends of Opera (a special partnership with OPERA America) Tempo opens the door to incredible discounts with opera companies nationwide.

Tempo members get invitations to EXCLUSIVE EVENTS and the DEEPEST TICKET DISCOUNT. It doesn't matter if you're new to opera or catch yourself singing arias in your shower: if you're 21-39 you should join. Learn more about Tempo...you know you want to.
