Birmingham Opera Company
Not what you expect from opera
We believe that opera can speak to everyone. We reflect the city we work in – with our audiences, artists and stories that we tell. The envy of the classical music world, our ground-breaking work constantly attracts new and ever-changing audiences. With a full time staff of only 3, a single office in Birmingham and no fixed venue, we are always out and about and draw some of the world’s most exciting artists to Birmingham and train hundreds of volunteer participants and emerging artists to create a large-scale performance in an extraordinary space.
Founded by international opera director the late Graham Vick, Birmingham Opera Company continues to makes world-class opera in the UK’s youngest and most diverse city. Succeeding at the highest artistic level, we regularly compete for prizes with the titans of opera...and win.
We perform in aircraft hangars, power stations, nightclubs - once we even performed in a burnt-out ice rink. The audience moves with the action, experiencing the opera by being a part of it and recognising themselves in it.
