OPERA LOVERS:
FEED YOUR PASSION

Launched in early 2009, the Supper Club is now firmly established as part of The NBR New Zealand Opera's sponsorship programme, offering sophisticated entry-level sponsorship with great opportunities for networking. Perhaps more importantly, it gives opera-loving folk in the business community a chance to meet some of our illustrious singers from here and abroad over fine food and wine, at award-winning establishments; Mollies and Hotel de Brett in Auckland and Logan Brown in Wellington.

Each year we introduce more fabulous member-only benefits including tickets to our operas, backstage tours and opportunities to attend mayoral luncheons in either city. New members also receive a 2-year subscription to Dish magazine.

"At the Supper Club evenings I have listened to and met world-class opera singers, eaten beautiful food and talked to amazing people from all walks of life - that's what I call a great night out and great business networking!"
Dr Claudia Wyss - Director, Coriolis Healthcare Ltd

Did you know?

Early opera resembled the atmosphere of a race course - chatting, food, laughter and loud comments were the norm.

During all our opera performances an English translation of the libretto is projected on screens above the stage, so you can easily follow the story.

If you are 25 years old or under you can purchase $25 tickets at the venue box office before any performance.

The world's longest opera is Wagner's The Ring Cycle, lasting over 14 hours plus intervals. That's 18 hours at the theatre.

The world's longest applause lasted for 1 hour and 20 minutes as a standing ovation. The opera: Otello starring Placido Domingo.

On average, an opera will last between 2 and 3 hours, with one interval in a two act show, and two in a three act show. Operettas and musicals tend to be shorter.
