A beautiful voice is not enough.’ This is at the heart of our philosophy: our artists are trained to be more than a voice\, to be equipped with the skills they need to build sustainable careers.  The Melba Program\, a year-long scholarship funded program\, supports artists from around Australia through a bespoke course of artistic development\, mentoring in business\, professional and personal skill development\, and performance experience.  Following in Nellie’s footsteps\, many of Melba’s talented alumni are realising their dreams and performing in opera houses around the world.  Join us to hear these future stars! 								\n				\n									Includes A sumptuous Devonshire tea (scones are made to a tradional Victorian recipe – Amelia Cotterel) served on vintage Johnston Brothers china\, in the Minerva Space. 								\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n																\n															\n															\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n							\n					\n						\n																\n													\n									\n					\n						\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n							\n						\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n									Tickets $39.96 per person includes gst & booking fee.
