Opera Anywhere is an ensemble company touring small, staged accessible opera and music theatre, sung in English, with piano and occasionally orchestral accompaniment, to central community locations including village halls, college gardens and small theatres. The company aims to deliver enthusiastic performances to those who appreciate music, to actively encourage participation from music students from the main conservatoires, and above all to entertain.
Having started with a Proms On The Pond, in Oxfordshire in 2000, the company has made outdoor summer concerts a feature of their performance schedule and now perform regularly in beautiful gardens such as the grounds of St Hilda's College, Oxford and the Museum gardens at Woodstock. They have also commissioned operas such as Carry On Gilbert & Sullivan in 2001 and opera programmes for corporate clients.
In additional to opera performances, Opera Anywhere runs a singers agency and arranges masterclasses via its sister company, Oxford Vocalists.
The enthusiasm and talent of this mainly Oxford-based cast ensure that the pace never falters, and there are, inevitably, opportunities for audience participation. It all adds up to two and a half hours of pure delight, and Saturday night's audience clearly enjoyed every fun-filled minute. Oxford Times
A collection of exceptionally talented and committed singers and actors,
who performed with such gay abandon and with such sheer joy, it seemed at
times that they must be high on some substance! A show not to be missed for
the opera lover and the lover of just sheer entertainment. Abingdon
