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 supporters who believe in the transformative power of music to speak to the heart and soul.
West Australian Opera is a registered non-for-profit charity and your donation plays a significant leading role. Each contribution brings a note of music to life, supports developing young talent, brings world class opera to the stage, takes opera in the regions and lets voices soar in schools across WA.
We invite you to join our ensemble of generous donors and share in our dream to enrich lives through opera.
However you choose to support West Australian Opera, we thank you for your kind generosity and shared purpose.
