Australian Contemporary Opera Company is based on Wurundjeri land in the Kulin Nation. We acknowledge that we live and work on unceded lands. We are privileged to create and perform on Country where songs and stories have been sung for many thousands of years.

Australian Contemporary Opera Company pays our deep respects to their Elders, and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
