Our Journey

Haerenga Māori

E ū ana a Puoro Whakaari Aotearoa kia tū hei hoa pūmau ki te Tiriti i runga i te 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.


Home About NZ Opera Haerenga Māori

Poipoia te kākano kia puāwai – nurture the seed and it will blossom

We recognise and value Māori culture, identity and voice. We welcome Te Ao Māori into the very centre of the way we do things through the stories we tell, the communities we engage with, the audiences we attract and the artists we support. We honour the unique and rich cultural identity of Aotearoa, New Zealand.
