JOIN US AS A PATRON

WHY SUPPORT THIS OPERA? 

All music is an expression unique to a particular place and time in history. In a world that is in constant change, artistic endeavour is a way for society to respond in a meaningful way to the ever–changing circumstances of society and life.

“Music creates a framework that identifies our place in the passing of time.”

It is our personal and collective signature that not only links us to the past, it provides a gateway for a cultural response in future generations.

With ANTARCTICA at the critical stage of pre-production exclusive opportunities are now open to become a patron of the opera.

Join Julian Burnside AO QC who has been an ongoing patron of Mary Finsterer since 2013.

Please consider making a donation and benefit from a tax deduction through the University of Tasmania. As an expression of our gratitude for your support, your contribution will be acknowledged in the premiere programme of ANTARCTICA. You will also receive exclusive updates and insights into the creative process of the making of an opera. Your gift will be recognised as part of a history–making venture in the world of art music today.
