Melba Opera Trust

The Melba Program is a year-long development program for aspiring opera singers and repetiteurs.

Entirely scholarship funded, the program is available to artists around Australia and aims to equip participants with the practical tools they need to succeed in an operatic career. There is an equal focus on artistic preparation, learning the business of opera, personal development (such as health and wellbeing) and establishing a network within the international industry. Participants put their learning into practice through our Performance Program.
