The Fund

Performance for the Past Year

· Based on share price (traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ETO), the Fund had a total return of 35.65% for the year ended October 31, 2007.(1) This return resulted from an increase in share price to $35.97 on October 31, 2007, from $28.34 on October 31, 2006, plus the reinvestment of $2.123 per share in distributions paid to common shareholders. Based on the Fund’s most recent dividend and a closing share price of $35.97 on October 31, 2007, the Fund had a market yield of 5.99%.(2)

· Based on net asset value (NAV), the Fund had a total return of 35.13% for the same period.(1) That return was the result of an increase in NAV per share to $37.49 on October 31, 2007, from $29.65 on October 31, 2006, plus the reinvestment of $2.123 per share in distributions paid to common shareholders.

· For the same period, the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Index”), an unmanaged index of large-capitalization U.S. value stocks, had a total return of 10.83%, while the Fund’s closed-end Lipper Classification, Global Funds, had average total returns of 17.32% at share price and 23.28% at NAV.(3)

Management Discussion

· During the year ended October 31, 2007, U.S. and international stock markets moved higher amid a significant increase in volatility. In the first half of the period, investors were cautiously optimistic about the economy, inflation, interest rates, and corporate profits, although markets both in the U.S. and abroad saw sharp declines from late February through mid-March 2007. Markets recovered strongly through mid-July 2007, only to decline again more dramatically in late July and August 2007 due to fallout from the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the U.S., which contributed to a broader tightening of credit globally. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) responded to the subprime situation by lowering the Fed Funds Rate — a key short-term interest rate benchmark — to 4.50% by period’s end. This cased some concerns about the U.S. economy and helped move markets higher through early October 2007, though another decline, caused in part by a spike in oil prices, occurred in the final weeks of the period.

· Based on the Fund’s objective of providing a high level of after-tax total return, which consists primarily of tax-favored dividend income and capital appreciation, the Fund was invested primarily in securities that generated a relatively high level of qualified dividend income (QDI) during the period. Since the Fund’s inception, all of the distributions made to common shareholders have been QDI, subject to tax at the favorable 15% rate. At the end of the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund had approximately 87% of total investments in common stocks and approximately 12% of total investments in preferred stocks. Within the common stock portfolio, the Fund had a significant exposure to the higher-yielding energy, financials, materials, and utilities sectors.(4)

· The portfolio managers believe that U.S. and global companies are in the process of transitioning from a 20-year-plus cycle of disinflation to a new cycle of generally rising inflation. To take advantage of the potential effects of rising inflation, the Fund has made significant investments in “hard asset” stocks — companies with significant assets such as plant, equipment, and land on

(1) Performance results reflect the effect of leverage resulting from the Fund’s issuance of Auction Preferred Shares.

(2) The Fund’s market yield is calculated by dividing the most recent dividend per share by the share price at the end of the period and annualizing the result.

(3) It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or Lipper Classification. An index’s total return does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. Unlike the Fund, an Index’s return does not reflect the effect of leverage, such as the issuance of Auction Preferred Shares. The Lipper return is the average total return, at net asset value and at share price, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. Lipper Classifications may include leveraged and unleveraged funds.

(4) Sector weightings are subject to change due to active management.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or share price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return. Fund performance during certain periods reflects the strong stock market performance and/or the strong performance of stocks held during those periods. This performance is not typical and may not be repeated. For performance as of the most recent month end, please refer to www.eatonvance.com.

Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.

their balance sheets — including those in the materials, utilities, and real estate sectors. During the period, Fund holdings in these sectors outperformed their counterparts in the Index.(1), (2)

· During the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund’s returns at share price and NAV were ahead of both the Index and the average returns, at share price and NAV, of the Lipper Global Funds Classification.(2) Stock selection was a key driver of the Fund’s performance, although sector allocation decisions were also beneficial. The strongest performance came from the materials sector, where both allocation and selection were beneficial. The Fund was heavily overweighted in this sector, and selections in the metals and mining industry significantly outperformed those in the Index. Financials made the second-strongest sector contribution, with banking stocks, including holdings in Europe, making solid contributions. The Fund’s common stock holdings were under-weighted in the financials sector, an allocation decision that was beneficial because this group underperformed within the Index (the Fund’s preferred financial holdings increased its overall financial weighting). Finally, overweighted positions in oil and gas and electric utility stocks — with solid performance in both industries — also contributed positively.(1), (2)

· Limiting the Fund’s relative performance over the past year were holdings in the industrials sector, where aerospace and defense stocks held back performance, and health care, where pharmaceutical holdings detracted relative to the Index.(1), (2)

· As mentioned, 13% of the Fund’s total investments was invested in preferred stocks, which are influenced, to some degree, by the Fed’s monetary policy. In the final months of the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fed lowered the benchmark Federal Funds Rate to 4.50% from 5.25% — the first Fed interest rate reductions since the Fed stopped raising rates in June 2006 (the last rate cut was in June 2003). Volatility returned to the credit markets during the second half of the period as subprime mortgage securities experienced considerably higher-than-expected delinquencies. Poor performance in the mortgage sector led to an increase in risk aversion across the broader bond market. Spreads widened dramatically in preferred stocks, driving returns into negative territory for the second half of the year ended October 31, 2007. However, the Fund’s preferred stock holdings performed well amid the market turbulence because management generally avoided issuers directly associated with the subprime mortgage meltdown. As a result, the performance of the the Merrill Lynch Fixed Rate Preferred Stock Index, an unmanaged, broad-based index of preferred stocks, during the period.(2)

· As of October 31, 2007, the Fund’s $145 million issued and outstanding Auction Preferred Shares (APS) equaled approximately 21% of total assets and maintained a weighted average reset period of 15 days. The current reset period on the Fund’s APS is comparable to what it was when the Fund’s leverage was Orginally issued.(3)

· During the year, the Fund increased its distribution twice, from $0.1425 to $0.1496 per share in December 2006, and again from $0.1496 to $0.1795 per share in April 2007. These increases, and the continued payment of the Fund’s monthly distribution since inception, reflected the Fund’s dividend capture strategy, which is a trading strategy designed to enhance the level of QDI earned by the Fund. By using this strategy, the Fund has been able to collect a greater number of dividend payments than it would have collected by simply adhering to a buy-and-hold strategy.(4)

· As always, we thank you for your continued confidence and participation in the Fund.

(1) Sector weightings are subject to change due to active management.

(2) It is not possible to invest directly in an Index or Lipper Classification. An Index’s total return does not reflect commissions or expenses that would have been incurred if an investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the Index. Unlike the Fund, an Index’s return does not reflect the effect of leverage, such as the issuance of Auction Preferred Shares. The Lipper return is the average total return, at net asset value and at share price, of the funds that are in the same Lipper Classification as the Fund. Lipper Classifications may include leveraged and unleveraged funds.

(3) Use of financial leverage creates an opportunity for increased income but, at the same time, creates special risks (including the likelihood of greater volatility of NAV and share price of the common shares). In the event of a rise in long-term interest rates, the value of the Fund’s portfolio could decline, which would reduce the asset coverage for its Auction Preferred Shares.

(4) There can be no assurance that the dividend capture strategy will continue to be successful in the future. The use of this strategy exposes the Fund to increased trading costs and the potential for capital loss or gain. The amount of monthly dividend distributions may vary depending on a number of factors. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions on Fund common shares could change

The views expressed throughout this report are those of the portfolio managers and are current only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and the investment adviser disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on many factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund.

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Opportunities Fund as of October 31, 2007

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 Significant Accounting Policies

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Opportunities Fund (the Fund) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a closed-end management investment company. The Fund was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated February 27, 2004. The Fund's investment objective is to provide a high level of after-tax total return. Such return is expected to consist primarily of tax-advantaged dividend income and capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to acheive its objective by investing primarily in dividend-paying common and preferred stocks. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

A Investment Valuation — Securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices therefore on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market generally are valued at the official NASDAQ closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and asked prices or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by an independent pricing service. The value of preferred equity securities that are valued by a pricing service on a bond basis will be adjusted by an income factor, to be determined by the investment adviser, to reflect the next anticipated regular dividend. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price for the day of valuation as quoted on the principal exchange or board of trade on which the options are traded or, in the absence of sales on such date, at the mean between the latest bid and asked prices therefore. Futures positions on securities and currencies generally are valued at closing settlement prices. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. If short-term debt securities are acquired with a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, they will be valued by a pricing service. Other fixed income and debt securities, including listed securities and securities for which price quotations are available, will normally be valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rate quotations supplied by an independent quotation service. The daily valuation of exchange traded foreign securities generally is determined as of the close of trading on the principal exchange on which such securities trade. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. When valuing foreign equity securities that meet certain criteria, the Trustees have approved the use of a fair value service that values such securities to reflect market trading that occurs after the close of the applicable foreign markets of comparable securities or other instruments that have a strong correlation to the fair valued securities. Investments held by the Fund for which valuations or market quotations are unavailable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Fund considering relevant factors, data and information including the market value of freely tradable securities of the same class in the principal market on which such securities are normally traded.

The Fund may invest in Cash Management Portfolio (Cash Management), an affiliated investment company managed by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM). Cash Management values its investment securities utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique permitted by Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. This technique involves initially valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.

B Income — Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.

C Federal Taxes — The Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its taxable income, including any net realized capital gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. At October 31, 2007, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $4,125,964, which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Opportunities Fund as of October 31, 2007

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D

gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income tax. Such capital loss carryforward will expire on October 31, 2013 ($1,109,278), October 31, 2014 ($2,962,393) and October 31, 2015 ($54,293).

D Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

E Other — Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are computed on the specific identification of the securities sold.

F Foreign Currency Translation — Investment valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Recognized gains or losses on investment transactions attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. That portion of unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.

G Indemnifications — Under the Fund's organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund, and shareholders are indemnified against personal liability for obligations of the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

H Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund's custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.

2 Auction Preferred Shares

The Fund issued Auction Preferred Shares (APS) on July 19, 2004 in a public offering. The underwriting discount and other costs incurred in connection with the offering were recorded as a reduction of the paid-in capital of the common shares of the Fund. Dividends of the APS, which accrue daily, are cumulative at rates which are reset by an auction based on the dividend period of each Series. Rates are reset weekly for Series A and Series B and approximately monthly for Series C. Series of APS are identical in all respects except for the reset dates of the dividend rates.

The number of APS issued and outstanding as of October 31, 2007 is as follows:

Series	APS Issued and Outstanding
Series A		2,000
Series B		2,000
Series C		1,800

The APS are redeemable at the option of the Fund at a redemption price equal to $25,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, on any dividend payment date. The APS are also subject to mandatory redemption at a redemption price equal to $25,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, if the Fund is in default for an extended period on its asset maintenance requirements with respect to the APS. If the dividends on the APS remain unpaid in an amount equal to two full years' dividends, the holders of the APS as a class have the right to elect a majority of the Board of Trustees. In general, the holders of the APS and the common shares have equal voting rights of one vote per share, except that the holders of the APS, as a separate class, have the right to elect at least two members of the Board of Trustees. The APS have a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. The Fund is required to maintain certain asset coverage with respect to the APS as defined in the Fund's By-Laws and the 1940 Act. The Fund pays an annual fee

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Opportunities Fund as of October 31, 2007

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D

equivalent to 0.25% of the liquidation value of the APS for the remarketing efforts associated with the APS auctions.

3 Distributions to Shareholders

The Fund intends to make monthly distributions of net investment income to common shareholders, after payment of any dividends on any outstanding APS. In addition, at least annually, the Fund intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net realized capital gain, if any. Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to preferred shareholders are recorded daily and are payable at the end of each dividend period. The dividend rates for APS at October 31, 2007, and the amount of dividends paid to APS shareholders, average APS dividend rates, and dividend rate ranges, for the year ended October 31, 2007 were as follows:

Series	APS Dividend Rates as of October 31, 2007			Dividends Paid to APS Shareholders		Average APS Dividend Rates			Dividend Rate Ranges
Series A		4.45	%	$	2,257,073		4.51	%		2.00	% – 5.60%
Series B		4.45	%	$	2,249,441		4.50	%		3.00	% – 6.75%
Series C		5.40	%	$	2,150,561		4.78	%		4.43	% – 5.50%

The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital.

The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:

	Year Ended October 31, 2007		Period Ended October 31, 2006⁽¹⁾		Year Ended March 31, 2006
Distributions declared from: Ordinary income	$	37,466,694	$	18,137,337	$	29,577,181
Long-Term capital gains	$	—	$	—	$	38,099

⁽¹⁾ For the period from April 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006.

During the year ended October 31, 2007, the following amounts were reclassified due to differences between book and tax accounting relating to foreign currency and Real Estate Investment Trusts.

Increase (decrease):
Accumulated net realized gain (loss)	$	685,428
Accumulated undistributed net investment income	$	(685,428	)

These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.

As of October 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	4,436,057
Capital loss carryforward	$	(4,125,964	)
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)	$	268,951,970
Other temporary differences	$	(167,042	)

The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales, the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders and differences between book and tax accounting for investments in real estate investment trusts.

4 Investment Adviser Fee and Other
Transactions with Affiliates

The investment adviser fee is earned by EVM, as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, EVM receives a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.85% of the Fund's average daily gross assets. The portion of the advisory fee payable by Cash Management on the Fund's investment of cash therein is credited against the Fund's advisory fee. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund's advisory fee totaled $5,304,103, of which $59,030 was allocated from Cash Management and $5,245,073 was paid or accrued directly by the Fund. EVM serves as the administrator of the Fund, but currently receives no compensation for providing administrative services to the Fund.

In addition, the investment adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund for fees and other expenses in the amount of 0.20% per annum of the average daily gross assets for the first five full years of the Fund's operations, 0.15% per annum of average daily gross assets in year six, 0.10% per annum in year seven and 0.05% per annum in year eight. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the investment adviser waived $1,248,025 of its advisory fee. The investment adviser has also agreed to reduce the investment adviser fee by an amount equal to that portion of commissions paid to broker dealers in execution of Fund portfolio transactions that is consideration for third-party research services. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the investment adviser had no such reductions.

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Opportunities Fund as of October 31, 2007

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D

Except for Trustees of the Fund who are not members of EVM's organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to the Funds out of the investment adviser fee. Certain officers and one Trustee of the Funds are officers of EVM.

During the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund engaged in purchases and sales transactions in the amounts of $32,896,587 and $40,939,530, respectively with a Fund which utilizes EVM as investment adviser. These transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act.

Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of the above organization.

5 Purchases and Sales of Investments

Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $478,500,456 and $489,368,753 respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2007.

6 Federal Income Tax Basis of Unrealized
Appreciation (Depreciation)

The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments owned by the Fund at October 31, 2007, as computed on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

Aggregate cost	$	418,210,743
Gross unrealized appreciation	$	271,828,082
Gross unrealized depreciation		(2,876,854	)
Net unrealized appreciation	$	268,951,228

The unrealized appreciation on foreign currency at October 31, 2007 on a federal income tax basis was $742.

7 Common Shares

The Fund may issue shares pursuant to its dividend reinvestment plan. Transactions in common shares were as follows:

	Year Ended October 31, 2007		Period Ended October 31, 2006⁽¹⁾		Year Ended March 31, 2006
Issued to shareholders electing to receive payments of distributions in Fund shares		14,257		—		—
Net increase		14,257		—		—

⁽¹⁾ For the period from April 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006.

8 Financial Instruments

The Fund may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments may include written options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and financial futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. The Fund did not have any open obligations under these financial instruments at October 31, 2007.

9 Risks Associated with Foreign Investments

Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Investments in foreign securities also involve the risk of possible adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal of funds or other assets of the Fund, political or financial instability or diplomatic and other developments which could affect such investments. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers (particularly those located in developing countries) may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets, broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONT'D

10 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109". FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective on the last business day of the first required financial reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management is currently evaluating the impact of applying the various provisions of FIN 48.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (FAS 157), "Fair Value Measurements". FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statement disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees and Shareholders
of Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged
Global Dividend Opportunities Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Opportunities Fund (the "Fund"), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the year ended October 31, 2007, for the period ended October 31, 2006, and for the year ended March 31, 2006, and the financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2007, for the period ended October 31, 2006, the year ended March 31, 2006 and for the period from the start of business, April 30, 2004, to March 31, 2005. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Opportunities Fund as of October 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for the year ended October 31, 2007, for the period ended October 31, 2006, and for the year ended March 31, 2006, and the financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2007, for the period ended October 31, 2006, the year ended March 31, 2006 and for the period from the start of business, April 30, 2004, to March 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

The Fund offers a dividend reinvestment plan (the Plan) pursuant to which shareholders may elect to have distributions automatically reinvested in common shares (the Shares) of the Fund. You may elect to participate in the Plan by completing the Dividend Reinvestment Plan Application Form. If you do not participate you will receive all distributions in cash paid by check mailed directly to you by PFPC, Inc. as dividend paying agent. On the distribution payment date, if the net asset value per Share is equal to or less than the market price per Share plus estimated brokerage commissions then new Shares will be issued. The number of Shares shall be determined by the greater of the net asset value per Share or 95% of the market price. Otherwise, Shares generally will be purchased on the open market by the Plan Agent. Distributions subject to income tax (if any) are taxable whether or not shares are reinvested.

If your shares are in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee, you can ask the firm or nominee to participate in the Plan on your behalf. If the nominee does not offer the Plan, you will need to request that your shares be re-registered in your name with the Fund's transfer agent, PFPC, Inc. or you will not be able to participate.

The Plan Agent's service fee for handling distributions will be paid by the Fund. Each participant will be charged their pro rata share of brokerage commissions on all open-market purchases.

Plan participants may withdraw from the Plan at any time by writing to the Plan Agent at the address noted on the following page. If you withdraw, you will receive shares in your name for all Shares credited to your account under the Plan. If a participant elects by written notice to the Plan Agent to have the Plan Agent sell part or all of his or her Shares and remit the proceeds, the Plan Agent is authorized to deduct a $5.00 fee plus brokerage commissions from the proceeds.

If you wish to participate in the Plan and your shares are held in your own name, you may complete the form on the following page and deliver it to the Plan Agent.

Any inquires regarding the Plan can be directed to the Plan Agent, PFPC, Inc., at 1-800-331-1710.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

Overview of the Contract Review Process

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund's board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the fund ("Independent Trustees"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.

At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a "Board") of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the "Eaton Vance Funds") held on April 23, 2007, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Special Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Special Committee reviewed information furnished for a series of meetings of the Special Committee held in February, March and April 2007. Such information included, among other things, the following:

Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses

• An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds;

• An independent report comparing each fund's total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds;

• An independent report comparing the investment performance of each fund to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods;

• Data regarding investment performance in comparison to relevant peer groups of funds and appropriate indices;

• Comparative information concerning fees charged by each adviser for managing other mutual funds and institutional accounts using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing the fund;

• Profitability analyses for each adviser with respect to each fund;

Information about Portfolio Management

• Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed;

• Information concerning the allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by each adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through "soft dollar" benefits received in connection with the funds' brokerage, and the implementation of a soft dollar reimbursement program established with respect to the funds;

• Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund;

• The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes;

Information about each Adviser

• Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser;

• Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts;

• Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes;

• Copies of or descriptions of each adviser's proxy voting policies and procedures;

• Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by each adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the funds (including descriptions of various compliance programs) and their record of compliance with investment policies and restrictions, including policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure, and with policies on personal securities transactions;

• Descriptions of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of each adviser and its affiliates;

Other Relevant Information

• Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment management services provided by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates;

• Information concerning management of the relationship with the custodian, subcustodians and fund accountants by each adviser or the funds' administrator; and

• The terms of each advisory agreement.

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Opportunities Fund

BOARD OF TRUSTEES' ANNUAL APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT CONT'D

In addition to the information identified above, the Special Committee considered information provided from time to time by each adviser throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2007, the Board met ten times and the Special Committee, the Audit Committee and the Governance Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met twelve, fourteen and eight times, respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees received, among other things, presentations by the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to the investment performance of each fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the fund's investment objective.

For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund's investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.

The Special Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Special Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Special Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement.

Results of the Process

Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Special Committee concluded that the continuance of the investment advisory agreement between the Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Opportunities Fund (the "Fund"), and Eaton Vance Management (the "Adviser"), including its fee structure, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Special Committee recommended to the Board approval of the agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Special Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Special Committee with respect to the agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the advisory agreement for the Fund.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreement of the Fund, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser.

The Board considered the Adviser's management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by the Fund, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Fund, and recent changes in the identity of such personnel. In particular, the Board evaluated the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing factors such as credit risk, tax efficiency, and special considerations relevant to investing in particular foreign markets or industries. Specifically, the Board considered the Adviser's in-house research capabilities as well as other resources available to personnel of the Adviser, including research services. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation paid to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to the Fund by senior management. The Special Committee specifically noted the Adviser's experience in managing funds that seek to maximize after-tax-returns.

The Board reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Association of Securities Dealers.

The Board also considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds.

After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement.

Fund Performance

The Board compared the Fund's investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices. The Board reviewed comparative performance data for the period from inception (April 2004) until September 30, 2006 for the Fund. On the basis of the foregoing and other relevant information, the Board concluded that the performance of the Fund is satisfactory.

Management Fees and Expenses

The Board reviewed contractual investment advisory fee rates, including any administrative fee rates, payable by the Fund (referred to as "management fees"). As part of its review, the Board considered the Fund's management fee and total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2006, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds. The Board considered the fact that the Adviser had waived fees and/or paid expenses of the Fund.

After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded with respect to the Fund that the management fee charged to the Fund for advisory and related services and the total expense ratio of the Fund are reasonable.

Profitability

The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and, if applicable, its affiliates in providing investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with their relationship with the Fund, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Fund and other investment advisory clients.

The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.

Economies of Scale

In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Fund, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of the Fund and the Eaton Vance Funds increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board also considered the fact that the Fund is not continuously offered and concluded that, in light of the level of the adviser's profits with respect to the Fund, the implementation of breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule is not appropriate. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that the benefits from economies of scale are currently being shared equitably by the Adviser and the Fund.

Fiscal Years Ended	03/31/06		4/1/06 to 10/31/06		10/31/07

Audit Fees	$	63,670	$	67,720	$	71,720

All Other Fees(3)	$	0	$	0	$	0

Total	$	75,710	$	81,815	$	85,462

(1) Audit-related fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of financial statements and are not reported under the category of audit fees.

(2) Tax fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by the principal accountant relating to tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning and specifically include fees for tax return preparation.

(3) All other fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for products and services provided by the principal accountant other than audit, audit-related, and tax services.

(e)(1) The registrant’s audit committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the pre-approval of services provided by the registrant’s principal accountant (the “Pre-Approval Policies”). The Pre-Approval Policies establish a framework intended to assist the audit committee in the proper discharge of its pre-approval responsibilities. As a general matter, the Pre-Approval Policies (i) specify certain types of audit, audit-related, tax, and other services determined to be pre-approved by the audit committee; and (ii) delineate specific procedures governing the mechanics of the pre-approval process, including the approval and monitoring of audit and non-audit service fees. Unless a service is specifically pre-approved under the Pre-Approval Policies, it must be separately pre-approved by the audit committee.

The Pre-Approval Policies and the types of audit and non-audit services pre-approved therein must be reviewed and ratified by the registrant’s audit committee at least annually. The registrant’s audit committee maintains full responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the registrant’s principal accountant.

(e)(2) No services described in paragraphs (b)-(d) above were approved by the registrant’s audit committee pursuant to the “de minimis exception” set forth in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.

(f) Not applicable.

(g) The following table presents (i) the aggregate non-audit fees (i.e., fees for audit-related, tax, and other services) billed to the registrant by the registrant’s principal accountant for the registrant’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, the fiscal period from April1, 2006 to October 31, 2006 and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007; and (ii) the aggregate non-audit fees (i.e., fees for audit-related, tax, and other services) billed for services rendered to the Eaton Vance organization for the registrant’s principal accountant for the same time periods, respectively.

Fiscal Years Ended	03/31/06		4/1/06 to 10/31/06		10/31/07

Registrant(1)	$	12,040	$	13,295	$	13,742

Eaton Vance(2)	$	140,600	$	83,600	$	286,446

(1) The Investment adviser to the registrant, as well as any of its affiliates that provide ongoing services to the registrant, are subsidiaries of Eaton Vance Corp.

(h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered whether the provision by the registrant’s principal accountant of non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed registrants

The registrant has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Norton H. Reamer (Chair), William H. Park, Lynn A. Stout, Heidi L. Steiger and Ralph E. Verni are the members of the registrant’s audit committee.

Item 6. Schedule of Investments

Please see schedule of investments contained in the Report to Stockholders included under Item 1 of this Form N-CSR.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies

The Board of Trustees of the Trust has adopted a proxy voting policy and procedure (the “Fund Policy”), pursuant to which the Trustees have delegated proxy voting responsibility to the Fund’s investment adviser and adopted the investment adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures (the “Policies”) which are described below. The Trustees will review the Fund’s proxy voting records from time to time and will annually consider approving the Policies for the upcoming year. In the event that a conflict of interest arises between the Fund’s shareholders and the investment adviser, the administrator, or any of their affiliates or any affiliate of the Fund, the investment adviser will generally refrain from voting the proxies related to the companies giving rise to such conflict until it consults with the Board’s Special Committee except as contemplated under the Fund Policy. The Board’s Special Committee will instruct the investment adviser on the appropriate course of action.

The Policies are designed to promote accountability of a company’s management to its shareholders and to align the interests of management with those shareholders. An independent proxy voting service (“Agent”), currently Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc., has been retained to assist in the voting of proxies through the provision of vote analysis, implementation and recordkeeping and disclosure services. The investment adviser will generally vote proxies through the Agent. The Agent is required to vote all proxies and/or refer then back to the investment adviser pursuant to the Policies. It is generally the policy of the investment adviser to vote in accordance with the recommendation of the Agent. The Agent shall refer to the investment adviser proxies relating to mergers and restructurings, and the disposition of assets, termination, liquidation and mergers contained in mutual fund proxies. The investment adviser will normally vote against anti-takeover measures and other proposals designed to limit the ability of shareholders to act on possible transactions, except in the case of closed-end management investment companies. The investment adviser generally supports management on social and environmental proposals. The investment adviser may abstain from voting from time to time where it determines that the costs associated with voting a proxy outweighs the benefits derived from exercising the right to vote or the economic effect on shareholders interests or the value of the portfolio holding is indeterminable or insignificant.

In addition, the investment adviser will monitor situations that may result in a conflict of interest between the Fund’s shareholders and the investment adviser, the administrator, or any of their affiliates or any affiliate of the Fund by maintaining a list of significant existing and prospective corporate clients. The investment adviser’s personnel responsible for reviewing and voting proxies on behalf of the Fund will report any proxy received or expected to be received from a company included on that list to the personal of the investment adviser identified in the Policies. If such personnel expects to instruct the Agent to vote such proxies in a manner inconsistent with the guidelines of the Policies or the recommendation of the Agent, the personnel will consult with members of senior management of the investment adviser to determine if a material conflict of interests exists. If it is determined that a material conflict does exist, the investment adviser will seek instruction on how to vote from the Special Committee.

Information on how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30 is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122, and (2) on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies

Aamer Khan, Thomas H. Luster, Michael R. Mach, Judith A. Saryan and other Eaton Vance Management (“EVM”) investment professionals comprise the investment team responsible for the overall management of the Fund’s investments as well as allocations of the Fund’s assets between common and preferred stocks.

Mr. Luster has been an Eaton Vance portfolio manager and analyst since 1994 and is a Vice President of EVM and BMR. He is co-head of Eaton Vance’s Investment Grade Fixed Income Group. Mr. Mach has been an Eaton Vance portfolio manager since 1999 and is a Vice President of EVM and BMR. Ms. Saryan has been an Eaton Vance portfolio manager since 1999 and is a Vice President of EVM and BMR. This information is provided as of the date of filing of this report.

Potential for Conflicts of Interest. The portfolio managers manage multiple investment portfolios. Conflicts of interest may arise between a portfolio manager’s management of the Fund and his or her management of these other investment portfolios. Potential areas of conflict may include allocation of a portfolio manager’s time, investment opportunities and trades among investment portfolios, including the Fund, personal securities transactions and use of Fund portfolio holdings information. In addition, some investment portfolios may compensate the investment adviser or sub-adviser based on the performance of the securities held by that account. The existence of such a performance based fee may create additional conflicts of interest for a portfolio manager in the allocation of management time and investment opportunities. Eaton Vance Management has adopted policies and procedures that it believes are reasonably designed to address these conflicts. There is no guarantee that such policies and procedures will be effective or that all potential conflicts will be anticipated.

Portfolio Manager Compensation Structure

Compensation of EVM’s portfolio managers and other investment professionals has three primary components: (1) a base salary, (2) an annual cash bonus, and (3) annual stock-based compensation consisting of options to purchase shares of EVC’s nonvoting common stock and/or restricted shares of EVC’s nonvoting common stock. EVM’s investment professionals also receive certain retirement, insurance and other benefits that are broadly available to all EVM’s employees. Compensation of EVM’s investment professionals is reviewed primarily on an annual basis. Cash bonuses, stock-based compensation awards, and adjustments in base salary are typically paid or put into effect at or shortly after the October 31st fiscal year end of EVC.

Method to Determine Compensation. EVM compensates its portfolio managers based primarily on the scale and complexity of their portfolio responsibilities and the total return performance of managed funds and accounts versus appropriate peer groups or benchmarks. Performance is normally based on periods ending on the September 30th preceding fiscal year end. Fund performance is evaluated primarily versus peer groups of funds as determined by Lipper Inc. and/or Morningstar, Inc. In evaluating the performance of a fund and its manager, primary emphasis is normally placed on three-year performance, with secondary consideration of performance over longer and shorter periods. For funds that are tax-managed or otherwise have an objective of after-tax returns, performance is measured net of taxes. For other funds, performance is evaluated on a pre-tax basis. In addition to rankings within peer groups of funds on the basis of absolute performance, consideration may also be given to risk-adjusted performance. For funds with an investment objective other than total return (such as current income), consideration will also be given to the fund’s success in achieving its objective. For managers responsible for multiple funds and accounts, investment performance is evaluated on an aggregate basis, based on averages or weighted averages among managed funds and accounts. Funds and accounts that have performance-based advisory fees are not accorded disproportionate weightings in measuring aggregate portfolio manager performance.

The compensation of portfolio managers with other job responsibilities (such as heading an investment group or providing analytical support to other portfolios) will include consideration of the scope of such responsibilities and the managers’ performance in meeting them.

EVM seeks to compensate portfolio managers commensurate with their responsibilities and performance, and competitive with other firms within the investment management industry. EVM participates in investment-industry compensation surveys and utilizes survey data as a factor in determining salary, bonus and stock-based compensation levels for portfolio managers and other investment professionals. Salaries, bonuses and stock-based compensation are also influenced by the operating performance of EVM and its parent company. The overall annual cash bonus pool is based on a substantially fixed percentage of pre-bonus operating income. While the salaries of EVM’s portfolio managers are comparatively fixed, cash bonuses and stock-based compensation may fluctuate significantly from year to year, based on changes in manager performance and other factors as described herein. For a high performing portfolio manager, cash bonuses and stock-based compensation may represent a substantial portion of total compensation.
