Have you ever wanted to present an opera? Have your name up in lights, alongside ours, as presenter of Orpheus! This landmark performance highlights the importance of creating new and innovative ballet-opera that is accessible (sung in English and performed in a relaxed and inclusive space), provides a platform for the exploration of rarely told stories, and encourage more new operas from exciting early career composers!
Your very own opus
You can't believe it's been so long since we've done another new opera, and you want to show your support! Your reward includes a Forest Collective badge and Forest Collective tote bag. All made in Australia, they also come with a thank you card (which we hope you pick up when you come to see Orpheus).
