✨ A Fond Farewell & A Warm Welcome ✨

As we celebrate a new chapter at OSA, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Mei Wah Chan, who has supported our Artistic & Program Director over the past year with dedication, enthusiasm and care. As an OSA alumna, Mei Wah has been a valued member of our community, and we are thrilled to see her embark on her next adventure in Paris, where she is pursuing her singing career. We wish her every success and look forward to following her journey.

At the same time, we are delighted to welcome Bec Dundas to OSA as our new Producer. Bec brings a wealth of experience as a dance artist, movement director, creative producer and arts leader, having worked across major performing arts organisations, festivals and youth arts programs throughout Australia. Her passion for artist development, pathway programs and creating meaningful opportunities for emerging performers makes her a wonderful addition to the OSA team.

Please join us in thanking Mei Wah for her contribution and welcoming Bec to the OSA family. We are excited for all that lies ahead. 💫

Step into a world of gods, heroes and timeless stories as Myths & Legends brings epic storytelling to life through the power of the human voice.

Featuring the outstanding singers of Opera Scholars Australia, this evocative concert weaves together operatic scenes and art songs inspired by myth and legend.

From the grandeur and drama of Handel and Rameau, to the lyrical intimacy of Schubert and the delightfully playful Heggie, these works explore love and loss, triumph and transformation, drawing ancient tales into vivid musical life.

By turns dramatic, tender, and exhilarating, Myths and Legends invites audiences to experience opera and song as living storytelling – where history, imagination and music collide.
