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. |
