Heber Opera
Heber Opera specialises in opera in the round and in English.Founded in 1989 by Roger Clow, primarily with the aim of performing English operas that have, for one reason or another, been neglected. As it has grown, Heber Opera has taken on more ambitious and better known works, but in specially prepared chamber versions that are presented in English. Performing 'in the round' ensures that the full dramatic flow of every opera is accessible to the whole audience. The performances have an immediacy that is unmatched in any other approach - the opera is truly close enough to touch.
Heber Opera has had a
successful 2008 with Trovatore
and Pirates of
Penzance. 2009 saw performances of Eugene Onegin in
May, a series of concerts in September and and Cosi fan tutte in
November. 2010 was the company's 21st birthday, so the main focus of
the year was a series of birthday concerts. 2011 has begun splendidly with L'Elisir d'Amore.
