Celebrating 30 years of opera!
In celebration of our 30th anniversary, we hosted at a series of exciting fundraising events as part of a special year of celebration.
From a new collaboration at the Bo Lee Gallery in Bruton, to a summer afternoon at Belcombe Court, culminating in our sparkling Homewood Gala Dinner, each event played a vital fundraising role in sustaining our work.

Make an impact today
As a charity, we receive no public funding and our future is entirely dependent on ticket sales and fundraising. Please consider making a donation today, and be part of a dedicated company that is keeping opera alive, dynamic, and truly open to all:
Make Your Donation Go Further with Gift Aid
Gift Aid for Basic Rate Taxpayers
If you're a UK taxpayer, you can boost your donation by 25% — at no extra cost to you — simply by ticking the Gift Aid box.
For every £1 you donate, we can claim an extra 25p from HMRC.
Gift Aid for Higher Rate Taxpayers
If you pay tax at the higher or additional rate (40% or 45%), you can claim back the difference between the basic rate (20%) and your rate on the gross value of your donation.
For example:
You donate £100
We claim £25 in Gift Aid, making the total gross donation £125
As a 40% taxpayer, you can claim back £25 through your tax return — reducing the actual cost of your donation to £75
If you are unsure of your tax status, we recommend speaking with a financial advisor or visiting the HMRC Gift Aid guidance page
