Pinchgut Opera is Australia’s only company dedicated to presenting operatic masterpieces from the baroque period. We celebrate the beauty and the breadth of emotions through music and the human voice. Other companies do the more familiar operas and early music repertoire excellently; Pinchgut helps audiences discover something new.
