Support Melbourne Opera<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Melbourne Opera values deeply the generosity and support given by individual patrons – they play a vital role in maintaining the life of Melbourne Opera.<\/p>\n

Why not consider contributing to The Melbourne Opera Public Fund as a Benefactor?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Donations to The Melbourne Opera Public Fund are tax deductible.<\/p>\n
