The Balnaves Foundation and the Sydney Opera House have announced a new partnership to help open the Opera House to disadvantaged Australians.

The three-year Balnaves Foundation Open House program will assist up to 12,000 socially and economically disadvantaged adults and children to attend performances at the Sydney Opera House over three years. Participants will pay $5 per ticket, with no booking fees or other charges, to attend selected performances.

The Balnaves Foundation will contribute $150,000 a year to the program, which starts in December 2014. Head to their website to find out more.
