Cultivator program

Become a Cultivator and help shape the future of Australian arts and culture.

The Cultivator program is an exciting initiative that brings together the next generation of supporters to the Sydney Opera House. We welcome passionate entrepreneurs, artists, and professionals who wish to support Australia’s cultural landscape and deepen their connection with the Opera House.

The Cultivator community helps shape our future, enabling the Opera House to make a positive difference in more people’s lives.

Cultivators will have the opportunity to attend special events and opening nights, and to receive exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to the Opera House and its programming team, Sydney Opera House Presents. You will also receive updates on our social and environmental sustainability programs along with regular briefings about the impact of their support.

As a not-for profit organisation, we rely on philanthropy and partnerships to sustain and expand our social impact programs, both on site and online, to make the Opera House more vibrant and welcoming to a diverse range of artists, audiences and communities.

We believe that creativity has a key role to play in building a more sustainable and equitable world. As a Cultivator, you can help shape our future, enabling the Sydney Opera House to make a difference in more people’s lives. We are thrilled to welcome the next generation of donors to the Sydney Opera House. Thank you for your support of Australian culture.
