New Zealand Opera Foundation Trust
CC21944
The New Zealand Opera Foundation Trust was formed as a major long term source of financial
support for opera in New Zealand. Its mission is to encourage and support the development of opera
at a professional standard and to nurture the special vocal talents and creative skills associated
with the art form.
A bequest gift will help opera in New Zealand to continue to thrive and
will assist the nurturing and training of emerging opera talent. It will help the development of
young minds through opera outreach programmes and bring home New Zealand singers who have made it to
the world stage to perform in their home country.
With the New Zealand Opera Foundation Trust,
the funds would go into scholarships for the development of aspiring young NZ Opera singers ,
funding special opera projects, sponsoring NZ Opera singers for NZ Productions who have succeeded
on the stages of international opera houses etc. The fund would not go into operating costs in fact
the Trustees put aside about 2 percent per annum from interest earned to grow the funds.
