Our Commitment
E ū ana a Puoro Whakaari Aotearoa kia tū hei hoa pūmau ki te Tiriti i runga i ngākau pono, i raro hoki i ngā mātāpono o Te Tiriti o Waitangi, ka mutu e whai wāhi ai te iwi Māori ki ngā tukanga whakatau kia tika ai tāna whakakanohinga ake me tana pupuri i ana matatika, mā reira rawa e whakapai ai te ahurea kauawhi o tēnei tōpūtanga, ngā pāhekoheko, ngā hononga hoki me te iwi Māori.
New Zealand Opera is committed to operating as a sincere Te Tiriti partner, adhering to the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi by involving Māori in decision-making processes and representing their interests and rights, all while fostering a cultural shift within the organisation towards authentic engagement and partnership with Māori.
