Support Us

In ten years SCO has achieved a remarkable reputation as a vibrant young arts company. It is now imperative that we secure our future and the future of 21st century Australian opera.

We have excellent partnerships in place, including our Carriageworks residency and relationships with major festivals in Australia and abroad. We need to have the financial confidence to plan our program well in advance in order to continue to attract the best artists, while still keeping our prices low to reach wider audiences.

We will continue the important task of commissioning and presenting new work by Australian composers and librettists, and are currently developing a major commissioning program that will form the bedrock of our future activity.
