Shape the Future of Opera
At NYOA, we believe young voices deserve to be heard. Every year, we provide singers, musicians, and creatives aged 16–25 with world-class training, professional performance opportunities, and the skills to launch a career on the stage.

Keep tuition fees as low as possible so cost is never a barrier to talent.
Bring in leading New Zealand and international tutors.
Stage high-quality productions that give our artists real-world experience.
Support regional access so young talent can thrive across the motu.
Provide scholarships for needs or merit based participants
No matter the size, your contribution makes a direct impact — from funding a single coaching session to helping stage a full opera production. Together, we can ensure that New Zealand’s next generation of artists step onto the stage with confidence, skill, and vision.
