Listening Room - Sharolyn Kimmorley — The Lisa Gasteen National Opera Program

The Lisa Gasteen National Opera Program acknowledges and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners of the land and seas where we live and perform.

We acknowledge and respect the knowledge, cultures, languages, songs and dances they have created and shared for at least 65,000 years.

The Lisa Gasteen National Opera Program affirms its support for the Uluru Statement from the Heart, and a process for Treaty Making and Truth Telling. We encourage our supporters, partners and audiences to engage in this landmark conversation.

Our commitment is to listen and walk respectfully with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals and communities, to celebrate the stories and songs of this place and its First Peoples.
