FROM OPERA BRAVA

opera Brava in education

Welcome to Opera Brava.

Built on a proud 35 year legacy of making opera accessible Opera Brava is dedicated to inspiring, educating and empowering a new generation. We build confidence and transform young people’s lives through collaborative performance and the magic of professional opera.

Peter Pan Premier 2027

Opera Brava’s renowned education work continues with the new production of PETER PAN just around the corner. 

The education work has always been at the heart of Opera Brava.  Never just an add-on as we believe it is so important to give opportunities to children that we know are life changing. Music and particularly Opera, can do this.

PETER PAN composed by Jenny Gould will be having its world premier at All Saints Church Lindfield, West Sussex, in February half-term and go on to schools throughout the year.

We are still seeking funding for this work and if you are willing and able to give towards it we would be very grateful. 

Bookings for your child to take part will open at the beginning of January 2027.

Changing lives with the power of music

Our work in schools lifts school children from the classroom into a magical and safe space to create and perform an opera. In this new world they find confidence, new skills and hidden talents that transform their lives and education.

“Thank you once again for bringing such a special experience to our children. Every child in this country should have this opportunity! What I love most is that opera is cool in our school! How cool is that!” Headteacher Heron Way primary school
