What it does

The charitable company (charity) has its office in Bradford on Avon, following its departure from Iford Manor early in 2019. The charity aims to promote education in, and enjoyment of live music and opera and particularly encourage the development of skills, understanding and repertoire in young professional performers at the early stages of their careers. As a nationally respected centre of excellence in opera and music theatre the charity's activities contribute to our local communities and the local economy by attracting audiences from across the UK and overseas. The Trustees consider that the charity's activities and aims are congruent with the Charity Commission's guidelines on Public Benefit. In particular: The general public who attends and who, through pre-performance interaction, informative printed programmes, English (sung or in surtitles) and a unique, intimate performance style, gains deeper insight into the music being presented. The Charity encourages the maximum access
