OUR ARTISTS

Opera Australia casts its productions from an ensemble of Australian artists, with regular appearances by international guest artists.

The ensemble includes around 80 performers – opera singers, dancers, conductors and repetiteurs – and 200 people in the areas of scenic construction and painting, lighting, design, direction, wardrobe, wig-making, management and administration.

The award-winning Opera Australia Chorus appears in Sydney and Melbourne.

Opera Australia manages the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra (based in Sydney) and performs with the independently-managed Orchestra Victoria (based in Melbourne).
