Education & Engagement

Love the arts, love our future

We passionately believe that engaging with the arts can have a lasting, positive impact on individuals and the communities of which they are a part.

Our education and engagement programmes in the North aim to give those who haven’t yet been exposed to the arts a chance to get involved. 

Our work is purposefully varied, ranging from projects that engage vulnerable groups like past offenders and the homeless, to working with schools to address issues in formal education. 

By involving more people in Opera we aim to grow and diversify the art form encouraging all participants to creatively explore the relationships between music, storytelling and public performance.
