REPORT: National Opera Review (Australia)

[ENCATC Performing Arts Management]

Among the most headline-worthy points in the national opera review report, it was advised that Opera Australia be barred from spending government dollars on the musical theatre productions which have become a prominent, lucrative and, for some purists, highly contentious feature in its seasons. Government funding should also be more strategically assigned, the report insists, with financial penalties dished out to companies for failing to deliver pre-agreed targets. In the report there are 118 recommendations in total. The report’s detailed findings reveal an opera sector that is untenable as it is currently operated.
