Manifesto

Sick and tired of seeing opera misunderstood, a team of creative and committed nerds have fused with some very cool, though equally nerdy, digital wizards to bring live opera performance to a wider, more eclectic audience.

The aim of GO OPERA is to target people that wouldn’t normally consider a night at the opera an enjoyable distraction from the hustle and bustle of city life.

At GO, we choose the best bits of the best operas, condense them to around an hour and sandwich the show with drinks and general good humour. It promises to be an immersive experience, one that blurs the boundaries between reality and the imaginary, between performer and observer.

We recognise that live opera is as much about the immediacy of the show as it is about the quality of the music.

To this end, we combine innovative staging, multimedia technology and young, gifted singers to create contemporary productions that grab the attention of the modern spectator.

By using a mixture of fresh talent, up-to-date technology and urban spaces, we hope to inject the often exclusive, sometimes maligned opera world with a bit of youth and vigour.
