2020 Program

10th Anniversary Grant Initiative

It was decided that due to “product overload” in the form of Aida, Tristan und Isolde and Der Ring des Niebelungen conducting  our usual program would be unwise. 

Then came COVID-19 and the Arts have shut down. Fortunately The Program  has not suffered the financial losses and logistical problems associated with the spread of this Virus.

We decided however to celebrate our 10th Anniversary in a very different way. In 2020, Lisa Gasteen National Opera Program alumni were invited to apply for financial assistance in order to continue their development.

The Initiative:

We were proud to announce our successful Grant Recipients for the 2020 Lisa Gasteen National Opera Program 10th Anniversary Grant Initiative! Each Grant provided up to A$5000 so these artists could continue their musical development while Worldwide Entertainment Industry is affected by COVID-19.

10th Anniversary Grant Recipients:
