Activities & Mission

Following our highly successful production of Aida in Heathfield, East Sussex in October 2015, we are currently considering our options and plans for another production. Additionally, our charitable objects have now been extended to allow us to support music more widely (not just opera) and to provide grants to aspiring musicians.
