It's Your Move - 50th Anniversary Film
Following the success of our 2020 fully online production, Jukebox, we are proud to present a newly commissioned opera by Tim Yealland & Russell Hepplewhite. It’s Your Move is the amalgamation of online and in-person activities and rehearsals, self-recorded over three months with participants aged 9-18 from 20 schools.
A bit about us
Who are we?
W11 Opera is an opera company for young people aged 9-18 years, originally based in London W11 we now have participants from across many of the London Boroughs.
What do we do?
We rehearse a new or previously commissioned opera in the autumn each year for a production in December.
Who can join?
We value enthusiasm, punctuality and a positive attitude and we do not discriminate on the grounds of disability, race, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity. We charge an annual subscription and offer bursaries to 25% of our cast for those who cannot afford to pay.
Do I need to be able to sing?
We welcome all levels of children who love to sing and no previous experience is necessary. Although we hold auditions at the start of our season, these are only to find a role best suited for each participant and everyone is given a part in the production.
