From the Paper:

"This research report was completed as part of the subject requirements Research into structure of small training opera companies found that most of these were attached to a flagship opera company. (www.knoxvilleopera.com, www.sfopera.com, www.glimmerglass.org, www.dc-opera.org) These small companies would offer intensive workshop and performance opportunities for graduate or post graduate opera singers looking to improve their skills prior to becoming professional. (www.knoxvilleopera.com, www.sfopera.com, www.glimmerglass.org, www.dc-opera.org)

Funding for these companies appears to come directly from their linked flagship company as well as directly from patrons. (www.sfopera.com, www.glimmerglass.org) Two of the investigated companies did receive sponsorship in the form of in kind donations such as Italian dictionaries for the singers. (www.dc-opera.org) None stated that they receive government funding. "
