Pinchgut Opera

We set up Pinchgut Opera to offer Sydney audiences a different experience of opera Pinchgut Opera rediscovers Baroque and early Classical opera masterpieces. Since 2002, Artistic Directors Antony Walker and Erin Helyard have led Pinchgut to present fourteen rarely performed operatic gems to audiences, in Sydney. Alongside the early music instrumentalists in the Orchestra of the Antipodes, Australian singers are frequently attracted from overseas careers to perform with this unique company. Pinchgut Opera records and distributes live recordings of operas it produces through label PinchgutLIVE. Pinchgut always performs in the intimate surroundings and wonderful acoustic of the City Recital Hall in Sydney. After presenting one opera year, in 2014 we doubled our output to two operas a year; a winter and a summer season. Having launched its first subscription season for 2016, the company's 15th year, Pinchgut is going from strength to strength.
