Operantics began in 2015 as a grassroots collective of passionate singers, musicians, and creatives, debuting at Sydney’s Independent Theatre with a fresh, vibrant staging of Così fan tutte. Founded on a love of storytelling and a desire to make opera more accessible, Operantics quickly carved out a niche in Sydney’s independent arts scene — offering emerging artists the chance to lead, and hone their craft on  and off stage.

Over the years, we’ve expanded our artistic scope and grown our creative family, welcoming more than a hundred Australian artists to our stages, from rising talents to established performers. Our past productions have ranged from beloved operas such as Così fan tutte, La sonnambula, and Die Fledermaus to curated concert series and Australian premieres of contemporary opera, including Jonathan Dove’s adaptation of Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park.
