Support the future of young people in opera.

Partner with Festival Opera.

Our Bravo! tiered sponsorship programme allows individuals, businesses and supporters to directly impact the development of young voices in opera.

Sponsorship helps activate our outreach programme: #operaclass - bringing opera into the school hall and school students to opera theatre, year on year. 

Our opera seasons are supported by volunteers, donors and accommodation partners. Many businesses gift practical and helpful services such as moving set pieces, fuelling our team with coffee, or delivering beautiful bouquets to our artists.

There are so many ways to be involved in Festival Opera, we’d love to talk more.

We’re proud to have been supporting Festival Opera since the beginning. Over that time it has been amazing to see the development of the PPV students involved - both in their confidence and their performance ability. Supporting the opera is a fantastic way to provide skill development opportunities for youth in the community which is a very important part of what we do at Greenmeadows New World

BRAVO!

Ambitious heights need a strong foundation. Our foundation for building kids up to aim high and progress beyond their wildest dreams is singing - and not just any singing – opera. We’re opening up new worlds of possibility to local teenagers which presents us all with a unique and effective way to invest in our collective future. Our voice can be our most powerful tool - and knowing how to use it builds confidence. Sharing that power brings new purpose and a vision for the future. 

Help us continue to provide this critical platform for rangatahi right here in Te Matau-a-Māui Hawke’s Bay.
