Australia

Opera Australia is one of the world’s most celebrated opera companies with an ambition to bring an Australian stamp to telling great stories through song, and a commitment to develop and nurture new generations of Australian talent on and off the stage. 
Based in Sydney on Gadigal land, we present over 600 annual performances to more than half a million people, including operas, musicals and concerts in our flagship home venues: Sydney Opera House and Arts Centre Melbourne. We present a national tour that extends from the red centre in the Northern Territory, to the wine regions of Western Australia, to the beach in Coolangatta.  

In addition to the annual program, we work year round with children, teachers and communities in NSW and Victoria with the aim of sparking an interest in song and stories. Our Schools Tour brings the world of opera and theatre craft to 60,000 primary school children every year. Subsidised tickets are offered to secondary students. 

We regularly work with some of the world’s most prestigious houses to create co-productions of powerful, often lesser-known, operas. We continue to embrace technology to reach communities in far-flung places with our rich catalogue of opera via cinema, on-demand TV, podcasts and radio broadcasts. 

We are one of the biggest employers in Australia’s $14.7 billion live performance sector, with an ensemble of Australian artists, and regular appearances by international guest artists. Our company includes opera singers, conductors, musicians and repetiteurs, with 200 people in the areas of scenic construction and painting, lighting, design, direction, wardrobe, wig-making, management and administration. In Sydney, we employ the Opera Australia Orchestra, while Orchestra Victoria is a key performance partner for Melbourne seasons. 

Our company is led by Chief Executive Officer Fiona Allan, and from November 2023 we will welcome our new Artistic Director, Jo Davies.
