The [[Opera Organisation of South Africa]] ([[OPEROSA]])

==History==

Founded in 1957 by the ''Afrikaanse Kultuurraad'' of Pretoria. Its stated aim was to grow into a national organisation and to lobby for funding from the state. This organization did not endeavour to produce opera but rather to negotiate funding from private sponsors, provincial and municipal government. OPEROSA would encourage opera associations from Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town to join forces by establishing a [[National Opera Company]].
