W11 “...is a little miracle, and I hope it goes on for ever.” Robert Thicknesse, Opera Now, March April 2010

So what is so special about W11?

Since it was founded in 1971 W11 Opera has commissioned and produced 30 new operas, more than any other UK company, providing a rich repertoire for its cast of 9 to 18 year olds. All are available to, and increasingly performed by, schools and youth groups worldwide.

W11 Opera has a strong community base and provides a unique opportunity for young people from all backgrounds to become involved in opera. It is also an invaluable showcase for contemporary composers and directors.

If you are interested in auditioning for our next production, please look at W11 Life and Cast Views to find out what it is like to be involved in a production. If you require financial support, help is available.

If you are inspired to offer sponsorship, would like to discuss composing a new work for our cast in the future, or are simply intrigued, please explore our website to find out more about W11 Opera, said by some to be “one of the best kept secrets in the opera world”.
