Streetwise Opera
Streetwise Opera is an award-winning charity that uses music as a tool to help some 500 homeless people per year move forward in their lives. They do this through a weekly music programme in 11 homeless centres across Great Britain and by staging critically-acclaimed opera productions starring homeless performers.
The productions (‘Awe-inspiring’ according to The Times) highlight the skills of Streetwise performers in a professional arena, demonstrating that whatever life throws up great things can be achieved. Underpinning these productions are the weekly music workshops which build self-belief and confidence, giving performers the tools to make positive changes in their lives. -
