“Exhilarating, an experience brimming with life!” Opera Participant

Experience the thrill and excitement of being part of a fully-staged opera production, led by professional creative teams and world-class opera singers, as well as a full orchestra. Whether you’ve never seen an opera before, are an opera fan but never trodden the boards yourself, or are a seasoned singer we would love to have you join us as part of our community chorus.

Blackheath Halls Opera has been producing operas annually since 2007, involving members of our community of all ages (including children as young as 8), professional opera singers and production teams, and students from our parent organisation Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance. It is a unique project that brings together performers from all walks of life to create high-quality operas accompanied by a full orchestra.

It is thanks to our Friends and Patrons of Blackheath Halls that we are able to continue to offer Blackheath Halls Opera for the whole community to enjoy. If you would like to become a Friend or Patron more information is available here.

You can read more about the costs and reach of our 2024 production of Cavalleria rusticana in our evaluation report.
