WE HAVE A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!


THE TANZOS OPERA AUSTRALIA RESIDENCY WILL NOW HAPPEN ANNUALLY!

In a trans-Tasman first, our partnership with the amazing @operaaustralia is now ongoing, and the incredible, immersive two-week residency with Opera Australia will be happening every year for our future #TANZOS cohorts.



is means that if you successfully audition for a place at Te Pae Kōkako - The Aotearoa New Zealand Opera Studio (TANZOS), you'll be coming with us to the @sydneyoperahouse for this life-affirming experience that the 2023 cohort all had. You can hear how amazing it's been for them in this video!
