Behind every masterpiece is a bigger picture
HSBC: proud new partner of Opera Australia
As a leading global bank servicing customers in over 80 countries around the world, HSBC believe greater cultural understanding leads to better opportunities for all.
Opera speaks to the timeless connectivity of music that touches audiences globally.
To launch our new partnership, HSBC wanted to celebrate the passion and talent that make up the bigger picture of Opera Australia. We went behind the scenes with Emelia Simcox, Head of Scenic Art and Rebecca Ritchie, Head of Wardrobe, to share their stories.
HSBC is extremely proud to support all the members of Opera Australia who bring so much joy and artistry to Australia.
“I grew up surrounded by dust and glitter.”
Head of scenic art, Emelia Simcox, was always destined to make magic happen on stage.
