The Dame Nellie Melba Opera Trust is grateful for the support of its business partners.
Accommodation Partner
The Dame Nellie Melba Opera Trust is thrilled to announce Mint Group Melbourne as its exclusive accommodation partner. Mint Group Melbourne has recently launched Mint Group Rhapsody apartments at 568 St Kilda Road. Just a tram ride from the heart of the Arts precinct, Mint Group Rhapsody offers luxury accommodation that has been musically inspired from its outset. With each of the 145 apartments themed to reflect the glamour of music and dance, the guest experience is reminiscent of an opening night as they walk the red carpet entry in the foyer to access the luxuriously appointed, fully self contained apartments.
The accommodation partnership will provide in kind support for Trust interstate scholarship recipients, visiting mentors and offer exclusive specials to Melba Opera Trust supporters. “Mint Rhapsody Melbourne is looking forward to an enduring relationship with the iconic Dame Nellie Melba Opera Trust and we will enjoy welcoming their guests and hopefully arrange for some of their emerging stars to perform for our guests in the future. That would certainly make for a memorable stay!” Michelle McAuliffe, Director of Sales, Mint Rhapsody.
Venue Partner
As Venue Partner, Opera Australia generously supports the Melba Opera Trust by hosting Mentor Program sessions and rehearsals at the Opera Centre in Melbourne. It’s support is continued through the involvement of key members of staff and by providing scholarship recipients with the opportunity to access performances and Opera Australia insights. The Trust greatly values its relationship with Australia’s national opera company and the valuable support it provides to Trust programs.
Event Partner
Fine music and fine wine are a perfect match. The Melba Opera Trust and De Bortoli are proud to work together on exciting projects combining fine wine and fine music, in honour of Melba’s legacy. A new range of De Bortoli wines pays tribute to Melba in La bohème.
