Friends of Melbourne Opera<\/p>\n

By joining Friends of Melbourne Opera (FOMO) you become a supporter of Melbourne’s own opera company.<\/p>\n

Melbourne Opera is a vibrant professional opera company providing quality opera productions at realistic prices for Melbourne audiences.<\/p>\n

The company receives no government support and relies solely on box office sales and the generosity of its beneficiaries. The company punches way above its weight with annual seasons in the Melbourne Opera Precinct (which includes the iconic Athenaeum and Regent Theatres), Monash University, and Victorian regional centres.<\/p>\n

Melbourne Opera also tours internationally, including highly acclaimed tours of China. This provides a vital performing platform for artists, whether in the Melbourne Opera Chorus, orchestra, or as a soloist.<\/p>\n

Becoming a FOMO launches you into this operatic world as a key supporter of the company’s mission. You’ll experience the preparation of our productions, meet artists, producers, and designers; further explore opera through talks, masterclasses, concerts, and soirees. But most importantly you join a group of opera lovers who support a vibrant company.<\/p>\n

There will be plenty of opportunities to socialise with these delightful people through dinners, special events, and film nights. Why wait? Join us now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
