Opera in Situ is an exciting, new Cardiff-based company which takes opera out of the theatre and into unique, unexpected places making it accessible to all. The inclusivity of the company is something we’re very proud of and it means that our performers come from a wide spectrum of musical experience.

For our first project we took over several unusual venues including a converted cinema, an indoor skate park and a church and presented a series of scenes from opera that take place in street settings. We took our inspiration from Kurt Weill’s American opera ‘Street Scene’ and numbers from it formed part of the event. ‘Opera Scenes’ will culminate in it’s final performance at MiR.

We are now in the process of forging relationships with a number of other venues for future projects so watch this space.

Our events, performed in English whenever possible will create unique, intimate and unforgettable experiences, making opera accessible to everyone.
