Patron Program

Opera Australia takes safeguarding the future of opera very seriously, from nurturing and developing the finest artists in the country to reaching as broad an audience as possible.  And not only because it is vital to maintain a professional opera industry in this country, but because it can enrich the imaginative and emotional lives of us all.

Box office revenue only covers a portion of our costs.  So if opera moves you, consider becoming a Patron of Opera Australia.  For over 25 years our Patron Program has provided the opportunity for generous opera lovers to make a tax-deductible annual donation to the national opera company.

This Patronage helps us to:

• Interpret music spanning four centuries
• Operate year-round with major seasons in Melbourne and Sydney
• Take opera to schools and regional audiences through Oz Opera
• Nurture artists and craftspeople of the highest calibre
• Work with local, state-based and international artists and companies
  

 

Our  Patron Managers in Sydney and Melbourne provide a special personal service for our Patrons, including:

• Access to premium seats, even at late notice
• Priority assistance with subscriptions, bookings and ticket exchange
• Invitations to special events and Opera Insight evening
• Access to open dress rehearsals
• Discounted ‘rush tickets’ to selected performances
• Acknowledgment in all Opera Australia programs
