Someone once opened the door to music for you. A teacher. A parent. A friend. They gave you something that stays for life: sound, story, wonder.
Right now, there is a young person in Northern Ireland who has never experienced the power of live music. They have never felt that moment when voices rise together and change the air in the room.
Through its productions, education programmes, and Chorus Development Programme, Northern Ireland Opera introduces hundreds of children, young people, and communities to opera and music each year. For many, it is the first time they encounter the art form that can shape a lifetime of creativity and curiosity.
Don’t let the music fall silent. Ensure it continues for the next generation.
We are a charity and the support of donors, friends, trusts, sponsors, foundations and our principal funder, the Arts Council NI, is vital in helping us in our mission to bring accessible and high quality opera performances to as many people as possible in Northern Ireland.
There are many different ways to support the work we do and be part of our story. You can come and see one of our productions, shows or events, sign up to our newsletter or follow us on social media and give us feedback about our productions.
If you’re a festival, venue or a business looking for a performance for an event, we are always interested in finding new opportunities for our Studio and Associate Artists to perform to new audiences – book us to perform at or produce an event for you: maybe a special corporate event or as part of a wider series of programming.
Feedback from private bookings:
- Thank you so much for organising such a fantastic performance for my grandfather’s birthday. It surpassed our expectations; everyone loved it and it made the day even more special. Please thank the wonderful singers who did such an amazing job.
- The beauty of your performance simply left us longing for more.
If you are in a position to support us financially or in kind, either as an individual or as a corporate sponsor, you can help us with our work developing emerging artists, our outreach and education projects bringing opera to new audiences across Northern Ireland and give us more opportunities to put on more productions.
And of course, if you’d like to donate right now, just click here – thank you!
