About Us

Friends of Opera Inc. is a not-for-profit incorporated society, based on the Gold Coast of Queensland, Australia. ​
Meetings are held at Griffith University on the third Sunday of each month, except January. 
Our venue is the ARTS Building (G30) Lecture Theatre 1.15  which is a short walk from Griffith University tram stop.
We gather at 10.30am for seating by 11.00am to screen a DVD of the opera of the month, on a cinema sized screen.
Prior to the screening, there is a short talk about the opera, the composer and principal singers.
At interval we adjourn to a nearby room for tea and coffee which is supplied. Bring your own lunch if you wish. 
A varied programme is announced for each year with the aim of entertainment and education. Individual membership is $30 per calendar year with a special rate of $40 for a couple. 
Door charges apply for each meeting, $5 each for members and $9 for non-members and guests. Members are entitled to borrow, free of charge, from an extensive DVD library and also be issued with a free Griffith University car park pass. ​
