CDA sponsors the Opera

"Divas & Diamonds" - The Opera Gala 2004 was in part sponsored by Cosmetic Dentists of Australia.

"This is the second event of this type we have sponsored this year," said CDA spokesperson Mr Carl Burroughs. "We have been delighted with both the media exposure we receive from such sponsorships and it's also great to be able to support organisations such as Opera Australia and Cancer Australia in the process."

Opera Australia has just launched its 2005 season led by its new Musical Director Richard Hickox. The new program is bold and bursts with life. There are six brand new productions including Prokofiev's ground breaking opera The Love for Three Oranges and Verdi's Nabucco together with lots of old favourites such as Puccini's La Boheme, Mozart's The Magic Flute and Gilbert and Sullivan's HMS Pinafore.
