The opera makers in lockdown...
In these challenging times, all arts organisations, performers, creatives and those who work in the theatre industry are struggling to survive. While our staged projects for 2020 have had to be postponed, we are delivering a series of virtual masterclasses, developing new shows and building exciting new partnerships.
Also, please keep a close eye on our blog, where we will be sharing our thoughts on, and insights into some of the operas currently streaming online for free from around the world. We'll also be releasing vlogs discussing our work.
