Performed in the round, audiences get up close to the drama, experiencing the intensity and immediacy of opera. Balancing the sublime and the ridiculous, these emotionally charged operas create unmissable magic and thrilling intimacy, bringing the realness and passion of opera closer than ever.
“I have seen Carmen a number of times – Edinburgh Playhouse, Covent Garden, etc but what you guys did today surpassed them all. Without exaggeration. The Production was fantastic, and for a community opera group, the talent on display was incredible. I am still buzzing. It was a privilege to be there.” – Audience Review, Carmen 2024
You? In an opera? No, we’re not joking!
Opera is a great way to build confidence, stretch your limits and make friends.
Rehearsing and performing alongside fellow enthusiasts of all ages can be a great way to unlock hidden parts of yourself, boost your respiratory fitness, exercise memory and coordination and to experience community and camaraderie on a whole new level.
Not sure? No worries. We were all apprehensive at the beginning too. Prospective members can come for a free trial of our weekly workshops. Nobody sings alone until they’re ready for that, and our chorus members do not audition.
