Victorian Opera is the custodian of the great and exalted traditions of a complex art form, which opens windows on the marvellous through the synthesis of music, drama and scenography. Opera is reflected in the mirror of society spanning the ages, through which community see themselves and share their fundamental humanity reflected in the transfiguring magic of song, drama, and the rituals of theatre. The nature of opera has always changed with history—and at Victorian Opera we are committed to continuing this creative evolution in response to the ever-changing circumstances of our world to provide a life-affirming, exuberant and evolving experience through the rich possibilities of our contemporary environment.

When it comes to opera, we believe these future possibilities are limited only by the capacity of our imaginations. Because for a world in which the individual is becoming increasingly isolated, we prescribe the sharing of unique experience—an experience made available both in the theatre and through information technology, accessible to all.

We believe in the unlimited potential of this art form to move people, to spark conversation, to enhance human understanding and remind us of the life-giving force of great singing and the sustaining power of connection to the human family through art.

So if you think you know opera, think again.

Victorian Opera is the state opera company of Victoria. We make creative, accessible and affordable work for everyone while adventurously evolving our art form. 
 
Since the company was founded in October 2005, Victorian Opera has entertained hundreds of thousands of people with our imaginative approach to opera and musical theatre. Each year, we premiere at least one new Australian opera and have commissioned 32 new works since our formation.
 
We employ hundreds of people across the creative industries, recruit some of the ﬁnest local singers, and collaborate with Australia’s leading companies, venues and learning institutions.  
 
The next generation of talent is developed from the ground up through the Victorian Opera Youth Chorus Ensemble (VOYCE) and our innovative Access All Areas: Livestream Program. 
 
We also stage opera in Tasmania biennially to share the joy of our art form even further. 
 
Recognised for our unique contribution to the country’s operatic landscape, Victorian Opera proudly became an Australian Major Performing Arts company in 2019, and transitioned to the National Performing Arts Partnership Framework in 2021.
 
As the world went into lockdown, we got to work; sharing our passion far and wide with a range of web series and online performances. Returning home to the stage, we embrace the new normal and will continue to perform in Victoria's finest theatres and concert halls to give our audiences the best possible and safest experience. 
 
Be it live or online, Victorian Opera is here to inspire you.
