An innovative charity that puts philanthropy directly on to the stage.
Creating and staging new productions of contemporary opera is one of the biggest challenges in the performing arts today, especially in an environment where reduced public funding has forced opera houses and festivals to do less and take fewer risks.
Opera Ventures Productions has responded to this challenge with its own combination of artistic vision, producing expertise and a focused network of philanthropists. It will create powerful new productions which can be shared by several partners, harnessing and coordinating existing infrastructures (e.g. orchestras, theatres, rehearsal rooms and administration) of internationally recognised organisations, such as The Edinburgh International Festival, Scottish Opera and Brooklyn Academy of Music New York.
