2020/2021 travel ‘bubble’ brochure with some choices you might like to consider when you feel ready to travel. We are proud New Zealanders and are New Zealand owned. Now is a great chance to play our part in rebuilding paradise in our part of the world.

Operatunity is all about giving you happiness, making dreams come true and allowing you to celebrate life and have fun through music and great company.

We look forward to showing you our beautiful country, Australia and the South Pacific (when that bubble opens) in the musically rich and caring way only Operatunity can offer.

Operatunity has put the following in place for 2020/2021 trips to protect your health and financial security.

1. For 2020 trips we will not be asking for final balance until 2 months before the start of the trip. This is to provide more confidence in the current status of COVID -19 closer to the time of departure.

2. For 2021 trips deposits and final balances we will revert to normal payment terms and conditions but these will be reviewed on an ongoing basis if required dependent on the current status of COVID -19.

3. If the trip is unable to proceed we will roll the trip over, if necessary to a later date to protect your money.

4. We are working through a number of health and safety guidelines to protect your health and mitigate risk to you.

5. All trips are subject to border controls being lifted in Australia and the South Pacific.

OUR PEOPLE ON TOUR

“Our seventh tour taken with Operatunity easily met the high standard we have come to expect. First class organization, care and entertainment programme.

The best recommendation is that I hope to be able to do more trips with these nice people.”

Barry P, Sydney 2019

“Operatunity... you are just the best! What a joy to spend the week with Bonnie, Karl, Suzanne, Tainui, Rory, Grant, Bruce and Ray. Add all of us wearing ‘the name badge’ and we became a family!”

Ngaere B, Murray River 2019

“As Bonnie said just before we left to come home this whole concept of concert and travel with Opera singers entertaining and mixing and mingling and carrying our bags etc. is totally unique in N.Z and perhaps in the world. Thanks to Susan and John for carrying through their brilliant idea.”
