Origins
Alessandro Rota was instrumental in the launch of the National Opera Association of South Africa.
Its aim was to encourage indigenous opera and ballet and to encourage South African artists to remain in the country.
Merger
The National Opera Association of South Africa merged with the Opera Society of South Africa to become the South African Opera Federation in 1958.
