Hello friends, family, and opera lovers.

I am starting this Gofundme because for the first time, I have applied to summer programs and was accepted into the Vienna Opera Festival Summer 2024. Not only was I accepted but they offered me the role of Donna Elvira in Mozart's Don Giovanni. This opportunity is such an honor as I have been working on the role of Donna Elvira since my first voice teacher (shoutout Dorothy-Jean Lloyd!) gave me “Ah fuggi il traditor” in late high school.

Summer programs are such an amazing opportunity but also very much a necessity in a young artist's path. While at the Vienna Opera Festival, I will receive musical coachings, acting classes, Italian diction coachings, auditioning for industry agents, and get to perform in the Musikverein Concert Hall and the historic Mozarthaus.

But tuition is expensive. I know times are tough but I hope that you will consider donating money to help me attend this program. No donation is too small, any amount will help! Your donation would make a world of difference to me, and it would help me to achieve my dream of becoming a professional opera singer.

If you have any questions or want to see a video of a recent performance of mine, feel free to contact me!

With so much appreciation,

Abigail Dutler
