Enriching lives through opera.
West Australian Opera has been captivating audiences for more than 55 years. We strive to share the power of opera through experiences that leave our audiences spellbound and enchanted. This is made possible with the support of our generous donors who believe in the transformative power of music to speak to the heart and soul.
As a not-for-profit organisation, support from our community is vital in enabling West Australian Opera to breathe life into great music, share wonderful stories and present world class opera in this state. We rely on donations to assist in developing young talent, commission new works, take opera to the regions and to enable voices to soar in schools across WA.
We invite you to consider making a tax deductible donation online or if you would prefer to donate via mail please download this form.
Donors over $500 are acknowledged in season programs, on our website, and enjoy special opportunities to engage with our artists and get sneak peeks behind the scenes.
For more information please contact Jane Campbell, Philanthropy Manager, on (08) 9278 8915 or [email protected].
Thank you to everyone who chooses to support West Australian Opera for your kind generosity and shared purpose.
