Opera in Australia

Opera was introduced to Australia by European settlers in the 19th century. The first opera performances were staged in the early 1800s, often by touring companies from Europe. It quickly became a significant part of the culture of Australia. A strong network of conservatories and training programs supports the tradition today. Several opera houses exist in both Sydney and Melbourne.
