Notable collaborations between the two include the co-production of Handel's opera Semele in 2010 and Benjamin Britten's Noy's Fludde in 2012. The foundation supported the festival's co-productions of Wagner's Parsifal with the Salzburg Easter Festival in 2013 and of A Midsummer Night's Dream with Festival d'Aix-en-Provence in 2016.

"Bringing Porgy and Bess performed by the Cape Town Opera company to China has long been a dream of mine since 2017," said Lady Linda Wong Davies, founder and chairman of the foundation, which she established in memory of her late father, Dato Wong Kee Tat, a renowned Chinese-Malaysian businessman and philanthropist.
