Love for the Performing Arts

With a history of over 20 years, Opening Nights continues to bring world-renowned talent to FSU and Florida’s capital city.

Our program has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Memberships and ticket sales have decreased more than half, impacting our ability to bring highly acclaimed artists to our stages.

To ensure the stability and quality of Opening Nights, we are launching the "Love for the Performing Arts" campaign—a two-week fundraising effort.

Make your gift to the Opening Nights Distinguished Artists Fund and show your love for the performing arts. Your gift helps secure the longevity of our program.
