Legacy Giving

Leave a Lasting Legacy

Your Gift for Future Generations

Opera has always transcended time – its stories, music, and emotions continue to inspire long after the final note has faded. At Blackwater Valley Opera Festival, we believe in creating something lasting: performances that stir the soul, moments that spark imagination, and opportunities that grow future generations of artists and audiences. You can be part of this lasting legacy.

 Leaving a gift to Blackwater Valley Opera Festival in your will is a deeply personal way to honour your love for opera and the arts. It reflects the joy and inspiration music has brought to your life – a gesture of lasting generosity that helps ensure opera, music, and education continue to flourish in this uniquely beautiful part of Ireland.

 By including the festival in your will, you help keep opera alive in the Blackwater Valley – supporting world-class performances in historic venues, nurturing Irish talent, and inspiring people of all ages through transformative cultural experiences.

 Thank you for considering this special way to support the future of Blackwater Valley Opera Festival.

Why Leave a Legacy?

A legacy gift helps:

  • Bring world-class opera to historic and rural settings
  • Support and commission outstanding Irish artists and creatives
  • Fund education and outreach programmes for children, schools, and communities
  • Ensure the long-term sustainability of the festival for generations to come

Whether large or small, your legacy can make a transformative difference. You’ll be supporting not just a festival, but a lasting cultural vision rooted in creativity, excellence, and a deep sense of community.

 

How to Leave a Gift

Leaving a gift in your will is straightforward. After providing for your loved ones, you can include a bequest to Blackwater Valley Opera Festival. This can be as a specific sum, a share of your estate, or even a particular asset.

We recommend speaking with your solicitor when making or updating your will. If you choose to leave a gift to BVOF, you may wish to share the following details:

Name: Blackwater Valley Opera Festival
Charity Number: 20201139
Address: The Blue House, Main Street, Lismore, Co. Waterford, P51 X710

If you have already included BVOF in your will or are considering doing so, we would love to hear from you. All conversations will be handled in confidence and with sensitivity.

 

A Personal Tribute

Your legacy can also be a tribute to someone special – a loved one, a friend, or a fellow music lover. Legacy gifts can be acknowledged in our programmes, or remain entirely anonymous, according to your wishes.
