Every Great Season Begins with Community

Greetings!

We’d love for you to be part of the First Coast Opera family. Open your home to a visiting guest artist and get to know the talented performers behind the music. Many of our hosts and artists form lasting friendships, creating connections that extend far beyond the stage.

We are currently seeking hosts for our 2026–2027 season in September, December, and February.

Hosting Is Simple!

Provide a private room, a bathroom, access to a kitchen, and our artists take care of the rest. They'll come and go for rehearsals while enjoying all our area has to offer. Whether you'd enjoy sharing a meal or prefer to give them space, the level of interaction is entirely up to you.

Benefits of Hosting

Have a second home or short term rental sitting empty? We'd love to make use of it. We also welcome deeply discounted vacation rentals.

Your hospitality makes a meaningful difference to First Coast Opera and expands our ability to bring in exceptional artists from across the country and around the world.
