Concert details -

Melba Opera Trust, a legacy of the visionary soprano Dame Nellie Melba, delivers Australia’s leading development program for exceptional young opera singers and repetiteurs.

Nellie once said ‘in order to succeed in opera, you have to engage in the business of singing. A beautiful voice is not enough.’ This is at the heart of Melba’s philosophy: the artists are trained to be more than a voice, to be equipped with the skills they need to build sustainable careers.

The Melba Program, a year-long scholarship-funded program, supports artists from around Australia through a bespoke course of artistic development, mentoring in business, professional and personal skill development, and performance experience.

Following in Nellie’s footsteps, many of Melba’s talented alumni are realising their dreams and performing in opera houses around the world.
