Since the company's beginnings as Intimate Opera in 1957, the State Opera has been consistently praised for its high artistic standards and innovative programming and now enjoys a fine reputation throughout Australia and overseas. In 2000, the Cultural Ministers Council accepted the recommendations of the Nugent Inquiry in designating The State Opera of South Australia (SOSA) as a "Specialist" Company with shared funding responsibility from both Commonwealth and State Governments.

Further Information: The Company is committed to major artistic collaborations with other leading opera companies in Australia and overseas. Our involvement with the general public, sponsors and major stakeholders through a range of mainstage, studio, touring, youth and community programs ensures access to the art form across a diverse audience demographic. State Opera employs a full-time staff of four led by General Director, Stephen Phillips. The Company, however, employs many hundreds of people each year through guest artist contracts, theatre technicians, musicians, stage managers and ancillary staff. This year, State Opera is pleased to present an expanded program including three popular Italian operas, an operetta, two contemporary works and a concert.
Further Information: THE OPERA STUDIO was established in 1998 with the primary objective of providing a low cost performance venue for the presentation of opera rarities and music theatre works featuring the best emerging South Australian artists, directors, designers, choreographers and musicians. It has now become a viable and popular alternate venue offering an exciting annual program of activities. The Studio is also available to individual artists and local community theatre groups, including those catering for people with disabilities, for performances and fundraising. The Studio offers ample free car parking and easy disability access. The Program encourages and fosters people from all backgrounds to improve their skills, knowledge and awareness by engaging in community performance activities.
