West Australian Opera

On United Nations World Day for Cultural Diversity, West Australian Opera celebrates the diversity in our vibrant multicultural Perth community, on stage at His Majesty’s Theatre and throughout our vast state.

With works performed in French, German, Russian, Italian, and Czech, we are also especially proud to have presented the first operas sung entirely in a First Nations language. Through works like Koolbardi wer Wardong and Wundig wer Wilura by Gina Williams-Ghouse AM and Guy Ghouse AM, West Australian Opera aims to celebrate and preserve the Noongar language and culture.
