Chamber Made

Chamber Made

Chamber Made Opera is an Australian production house for contemporary opera and music theatre. Formed in 1988 by theatre director and librettist Douglas Horton. It is Australia’s only full-time company exclusively devoted to the commissioning and presentation of music-theatre works by living artists. Since taking up the artistic directorship in 2010, David Young has commissioned and presented twelve new Australian operas, many of which were created as part of the company's "Living Room Opera" series.

Chamber Made Opera works with established artists and emerging professionals. The company also engages performers from different disciplines and ‘non-traditional’ music and performance backgrounds.

Their productions range from contemporary classical music theatre, through to cross art 'hybrid' performance works. This range encompasses wide stylistic and ethnic diversity in music and music-makers.

The company has forged partnerships with the Victorian Opera, the Victorian Writers’ Centre, Bell Shakespeare, Rawcus, Malthouse Theatre, New Music Network, and the Australian Music Centre.
