Shadwell Opera is one of the UK's leading opera voices, performing since 2009. We work with the UK's best young singers and instrumentalists, introducing people to British contemporary opera: in theatres, warehouses, churches, museums, and community centres. We educate schoolchildren about opera, and work with communities to give people their first experience of the art form.
