West Australian Opera was established in 1967 and has been Western Australia’s only full-time, professional opera company for over 50 years.
The company presents operas drawn from the mainstream operatic repertoire and is involved in the commissioning and development of new work. West Australian Opera offers an annual season of main stage productions as well as operatic events in metropolitan and regional Western Australia. The company has a strong education and community program, including Wesfarmers Arts Singing Workshop, library events, school excursions and incursions, makeup workshops and behind the scene opportunities.
