Explore Opera

Saturday 13th October 2009 2.30pm - 4.30pm for Carmen

Saturday 17th October 2009 2.30pm - 4.30pm for Madam Butterfly

In each season one of WNO’s operas is chosen to be the subject of a free two-hour workshop, exploring the roots of the opera and involving singers from the company, who give an exclusive performance of some of the highlights of the score. This is a great opportunity to experience first-hand the creation of the opera from the page to the stage.

Explore Opera is suitable for all ages – including families – and for those who are completely new to opera as well as seasoned regulars.

Explore Opera does not need to be booked in advance.

Pre-performance Talks

Operas are complex, collaborative works with composers, librettists, conductors, directors, designers, singers, musicians and back-stage crew working flat-out to produce an evening of drama and music. The 30 minute pre-performance talks will attempt to unscramble these tangled relationships.

We can arrange to book a FREE session in advance for our guests.
