Support Melbourne Opera
Melbourne Opera has grown dramatically in the last three years and now occupies an important part in the cultural life of Melbourne. At the moment Melbourne Opera depends entirely on its box-office and on the generosity of its patrons and benefactors and does not enjoy public-sector support of any kind.
Melbourne Opera values deeply the generosity and support given by individual patrons – they play a vital role in maintaining the life of Melbourne Opera.
Why not consider contributing to The Melbourne Opera Public Fund as a Benefactor?
Donations to The Melbourne Opera Public Fund are tax deductible.
For details of the Programmes contact Robbie McPhee, Events and Sponsorship Manager.
Corporate Partnership Programme
Melbourne Opera’s new Corporate Partnership Programme has been created to provide leading Melbourne businesses with the opportunity to partner with Melbourne Opera and develop marketing strategies that demonstrate an equally strong reputation for professionalism, excellence, and contemporary thinking. Join the exciting world of opera!
Your corporate support will make a significant contribution to Melbourne Opera’s continued success, and your company will enjoy a high profile in the community as a major supporter of Victoria’s own resident opera company.
For further information, or to arrange a personal visit from one of our Sponsorship Specialists to discuss your requirements, please contact Corporate & International Business Development.
