Prizes & scholarships
A masterpiece of architecture, engineering and creativity, the Sydney Opera House embodies excellence and the liberating power of art and ideas. The product of a global competition, it is Australia's most significant building and a symbol of Australian optimism.
For over four decades the Opera House has been a source of inspiration and it is this legacy that its custodians, donors and supporters are committed to ensuring is passed on to future generations through the Opera House's prizes and scholarships.
MADE by the Opera House
Established at the Sydney Opera House's 40th Anniversary in 2013, MADE by the Opera House is an Australian-Danish exchange program that, in the lead up to the 50th Anniversary in 2023, will create an alumnus group of 100 students to continue the international and interdisciplinary links first forged by Jørn Utzon's masterpiece.
The Lloyd Martin Travelling Scholarship for Emerging Arts Leaders
The Lloyd Martin Travelling Scholarship for Emerging Arts Leaders is an Opera House initiative to help the next generation of arts managers tackle the increasingly complex landscape facing cultural institutions in the 21st century.
The Sydney Opera House Opera Award
The Sydney Opera House Opera Award, enabled by The Phillip and Myrtle Foster Memorial Award and The Joy Lindsay and Valerie North Opera Award, enables exceptional emerging Australian singers to benefit from exposure to and mentoring by world-renowned artists.
Fanfare
A fanfare is a short composition that traditionally announces important information. During 2017, Sydney Opera House patrons attending Children, Families and Creative Learning Holiday shows will be called to their seats by new fanfares composed by young Australians.
