About
Open Door Opera is a company of young, talented, professional singers, conductors, and stage directors. We represent a fresh, energetic new generation of artists, all seeking to take our performance to a variety of spaces and to a diversity of people. Holding a firm belief that opera is not just for the opera house, we present opera in a totally original way, creatively fusing all the elements involved in this most dynamic of art-forms (music, singing, speech, emotion, movement, dance, light, design, costume) to produce a truly magical, moving and engaging story-telling experience.It is our aim to unleash the full potential of opera. We seek to present new operas from fantastic living composers and to present established classics in a (radically) new light. We use the spectacle of theatre to enhance the communication of drama, but we don't rely on it. We can put on an opera anywhere. Try us.Because of the diverse range of skills required, opera is a very inclusive art-form. We work with performers from different backgrounds and disciplines, including school children and teenagers - many of whom had never seen an opera before. We work with designers, filmmakers, dancers, actors, singers and actively seek performers with inter-disciplinary backgrounds. Gesamtkunstwerk, for real.
