澳大利亚歌剧院在2024年报告了1060万美元的运营赤字,主要是由于Sunset Boulevard的不良评价和不良观众,由莎拉·布莱特曼主演. Opera Australia reported a $10.6 million operating deficit in 2024, largely due to the poorly reviewed and poorly attended production of Sunset Boulevard, starring Sarah Brightman. 该公司依靠纳税人的资金,不得不靠储蓄和贷款来管理其财务。 The company relied on taxpayer funding and had to dip into savings and take a loan to manage its finances. 尽管出现赤字,但该公司正在规划更好的财务控制,预期到2025年甚至会崩溃,到2026年将获得微小利润。 Despite the deficit, the company is planning better financial controls and expects to break even by 2025 and achieve a small profit by 2026.
