A huge thank you to all of our choristers, supporters, and audience members who have already donated to our EOFY Appeal. And a very warm welcome to our new supporters.

Your support makes the vital difference between what we earn from selling tickets and receive in funding – and what it takes to run an organisation like ours. It means we can continue to program amazing concerts, commission new works, and invest in young Australian talent.

There's still time before 30 June to make a tax-deductible donation and, by doing so, invest in our future together.

It’s Make Music Day today!

MMD is an international movement, started in in France in 1982 and now celebrated on 21 June in 2000 cities throughout dozens of countries around the world. The spirit of it is for *everyone* – young, old, amateur or professional, of every musical taste or persuasion – to take part in and share music with their neighbours, community and strangers.

You can find free community events taking place near you today here: https://makemusicaustralia.org.au/

We have our own ways you can take part in the joy, friendship and health benefits of making music – open to everyone, whether newcomer or expert.

Sing in one of our community choirs:
• Christmas Choir, performing Handel’s Messiah at the Sydney Opera House in December > https://bit.ly/XmasChoir26
• ChorusOz Perth, performing Carmina Burana at Perth’s Winthrop Hall in September > https://bit.ly/ChorusOzPerth26

Or if you just want to luxuriate in the sounds of a wonderful choir and orchestra, join us for Haydn’s magnificent Creation oratorio on Saturday 4 July at the Opera House > https://bit.ly/SPC26Creation

Happy worldwide Make Music Day!

ChorusOz *really* begins well ahead of the long weekend when the amazing team of volunteers come in to pack the choristers’ bags with their performance t-shirt, souvenir program and other goodies.

With military precision, Annie’s team will have the job done in record time. Thanks Team ChorusOz!

Rehearsals commence bright and early on Saturday when 800 choristers from every state and territory in Australia and five overseas countries converge at the Opera House.

Come and see the result on Sunday – perhaps the biggest opera cast this Opera House has ever seen for Verdi’s Aida.

Question – would you rather marry the one you don’t love, or be buried alive to avoid it?

Opera is great at solving life’s quandaries by way of sublime music.
And by way of answer, next weekend we present Aida – Verdi’s grand operatic masterpiece, with hundreds of choristers from across Australia and the globe, 8 star soloists and the Sydney Philharmonia Orchestra on stage at the Sydney Opera House – where we solve this very question.

We won’t have the usual elephants and ancient Egyptian temples, but there’s wall-to-wall choral hits and all the heart-melting arias and love duets.

Join us at Aida.
