Annual Giving

“At the heart of every Pinchgut performance is a shared act of connection and discovery. We simply could not bring this music to life without the amazing generosity of our supporters.”

For more than two decades, Pinchgut Opera has been sustained by a remarkable community of donors, whose belief in our work brings it to life.

Pinchgut’s artistry is always in motion; shaped in rehearsal rooms, refined through collaboration, and realised in performance. From the first spark of an idea to the final moments on stage, it is your support that drives this process. forward.

Your generosity enables us to explore this extraordinary repertoire with depth and care, and share performances that are vivid, immediate and deeply moving. This is music that speaks across centuries, offering moments of connection, reflection and joy.

Pinchgut remains one of Australia’s most independent performing arts companies, with 96% of our income generated through ticket sales and philanthropy.

Each year, we bring together over a hundred artists, creatives and arts workers, the majority of them Australian, to create work of the highest calibre.

We know this is a time of real pressure for many, and we are deeply mindful of that. But it is also in times like these that the opportunity to come together, to reflect, and to experience something meaningful becomes all the more important.

If you’re able to support us this year, in whatever way feels possible, it will play a vital role in sustaining what we do and ensuring this extraordinary music continues to thrive for audiences and artists alike.

With our deepest thanks for your continued belief in Pinchgut.
