Opera Opera covers the Australian opera scene — the performances, the people, the politics, and the tech reshaping how we experience live music. We write for both lifelong opera fans and curious newcomers who want to understand what all the fuss is about.

The site is written by Margot Bellini, a former Opera Australia chorus member turned arts journalist based in Sydney. After a decade on stage and another decade covering the arts beat, she brings an insider's perspective on what's working (and what isn't) in Australian opera.

We cover everything from opening night reviews to the business of running an opera company, arts funding policy, emerging Australian talent, and how technology is changing the way audiences connect with opera.

Whether you're a seasoned subscriber or someone who's never set foot in an opera house, Opera Opera is here to make the art form feel a little less intimidating and a lot more interesting.
