opera is dead - Long live opera!

The Opera Makers exist to produce opera for audiences of all ages, and from all cultural backgrounds.   We believe that opera is, first and foremost, entertainment.

Over the past decade opera companies of all sizes have fought to expel the myth that opera is an elitist, grand art form.  After all, it hasn’t always been.  Verdi’s tunes would be whistled throughout the streets of Italy, and London critics wrote of the moral corruption and scandal that buzzed around the Theatre Royal and Covent Garden’s grand façades. 

The Opera Makers believe, that with our dedication to making opera entertaining, multidisciplinary and at once intimate and spectacular, we can produce work that captures the imagination and brings stories to life.
