Welcome to Opera UK

We started the company in 2005 and in Autumn that year launched our first two productions, Tosca and Cosi fan tutte in London and Horsham with excellent reviews and a positive audience response. In Spring 2006 we presented no fewer than six new pieces at The Bloomsbury Theatre in London : Simon Boccanegra, Verdi's great drama, and Lehar's delightful operetta, The Merry Widow as well as El Amor Brujo (Falla), Mozart's The Impresario, An Evening with Giacomo Puccini and School for Lovers, a concert version of Cosi fan tutte - once again to wonderful audience response and excellent reviews.

In 2007 we launched the Opera Review which we performed in Brighton and London and began touring Cosi fan tutte which opened at the Blackheath Halls in London before beginning its tour at The Charter Theatre, Preston.

Our aim is to show first class productions at genuinely sensible prices. Productions that not only please regular opera and theatre-goers but also newcomers. Thus we attempt to maintain the essence of what we believe to have been the composers' intentions without being too slavishly restricted by period or place.

It has always been our aim to pick our casts from the mainly younger people of the major conservatoires, not only for their beautiful singing but also for their acting ability which means they look believable as the characters they are playing.
