“Exhilarating, an experience brimming with life!” 2023 Opera Participant
The thrill and excitement of being part of a fully-staged live opera production really is something extraordinary. If you haven’t experienced opera before but enjoy performing or you enjoy the music/production and just want to know how it feels to experience it first hand, this opera project could be the one for you!
Blackheath Halls Opera has been producing operas annually since 2007, involving members of our community, 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.
Blackheath Halls Opera 2023
Our Community Opera this year will be Handel’s Semele. Performed very little during Handel’s lifetime, the opera now enjoys regular performances on opera stages worldwide. With it’s mythological story and rousing chorus numbers, it is the perfect fit for Blackheath Halls Opera. Our world-class cast includes Francesca Chiejina in the title role, Thando Mjandana as Jupiter, Matthew Rose as Cadmus and Somnus and Katie Bray as Juno. We are very excited to welcome back seasoned Blackheath Halls Opera Director Harry Fehr alongside Christopher Stark as Musical Director.
