Coast Opera Australia Central Coast Ltd
Coast Opera Australia Central Coast Ltd is a nonprofit performing arts organization based in New South Wales, Australia, focused on opera and classical music. Registered as a tax-deductible fund under the Australian Government’s Register of Cultural Organisations, it operates with a mission to deliver world-class musical performances while fostering community engagement and regional arts development[1][3].

Advisors include individuals with leadership backgrounds at institutions such as Opera Australia, The Australian Ballet, and Bell Shakespeare Company[1][4].

Operations and Outreach
The group is noted for performing in unconventional venues, including restaurants, clubs, and stadiums, to broaden accessibility. Events such as Salute to the Anzacs and Disney to Diva have drawn national and international online audiences[5].
