More Than Opera is a proud partner of BrunnhAilde.

More Than Opera is a Melbourne-based arts organisation committed to performing opera in a broad range of settings in the community. Founded in 2000, by Dr David Kram, More Than Opera has a rich history of taking opera to diverse audiences, to those who know and love opera, and to those who are hearing it for the first time.

 

We love opera for its own sake: opera sits at the pinnacle of the performing arts combining music, text, theatre and dance with the power of the human voice to entice, entertain and transport us with timeless stories about life and love.

 

We support the development of opera singers and mentor emerging artists (singers, composers, conductors, directors), in their professional journey by engaging them to work with us on opera projects.

 

We engage professional artists to conduct masterclasses and share their technical knowledge, experience and insights about working as professional musicians.

 

Since 2003, More Than Opera has partnered with Das Hessische Staatstheater in Wiesbaden to administer the German Australian Opera Award (GAOG). Each year, four finalists compete for the opportunity of working professionally at the Wiesbaden State Opera. And we’re proud to have helped many artists who are now working as professional musicians in Australia and overseas.
