We need you.

There are many benefits in choosing to sponsor or support the Opera Awards —

  • association with a premium, well-known ‘brand’
  • experienced management and event team
  • access to established social and professional contact networks, in a high-value industry sector
  • tax deductibility

An Opera Awards sponsor has the opportunity to invest in and further develop one of our existing scholarships or prizes or can help create an activity tailored to a specific area of interest. This may include the establishment of a new scholarship, grant or award; access to our sponsor and participant communities etc.There are also non-financial ways to support the Opera Awards in its endeavours. For example by providing donations of products, professional services, gifting, or other value-in-kind options.

The Opera Awards is considered one of Australia’s premier singing competitions for professional opera singers.

Many resources are needed for the awards to continue. Without our sponsors and supporters this would not happen.

We invite you to join a ‘family’ of like-minded people and organisations that are dedicated to promoting excellence in the opera and classical performing arts.
