The Supper Club
2010: A Supper Club Odyssey
Launched a the beginning of 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 in Auckland and Logan Brown in Wellington.
This year we have introduced even more fabulous member-only benefits including tickets to our operas, backstage tours, opportunities to attend mayoral luncheons in either city and reduced membership fees.
"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
Wellington wizards Ocean Design have worked their magic and the attractive new brochures are now available. Supper Club 2010 is here!

Did you know?
An English translation of the opera is projected on surtitles above the stage during our performances.
Early opera resembled the atmosphere of a race course - chatting, food, laughter and loud comments were the norm.
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.
NZO has launched an Opera Social Club - no joining fees, no club membership, everyone is welcome.
