Opera resources

Don Giovanni, 2007

Enriching your Opera Experience

There is far more to every opera than the spectacle and music an audience experiences at the performance. Your opera experience can be enriched immeasurably as you discover more about the opera, its creators, and its musical, literary, social and historical background.

To help you enjoy a more profound operatic experience, Pacific Opera Victoria provides a variety of resources, which can be found on the pages about our current season's operas as well as in our Study Guides to the POV operas. These resources are for everyone: members of our audience, students and teachers who are taking part in our Student Dress Rehearsal Program, and anyone who is interested in exploring the rich world behind every opera we present.

POV sends copies of our Study Guides to schools taking part in the Student Dress Rehearsal Program. The guides may also be downloaded for study and research purposes. Please credit Pacific Opera Victoria if you make use of any materials in the Study Guides.

In addition, POV sends our newsletter Key Notes to our season subscribers and donors.
