Streetwise Opera

Thanks to all who joined us at Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall for our performance of Reimagining Figaro with the chorus and orchestra of Opera North, directed by Rosie Kat and with music by Tim Lole, Alex Ho and the Streetwise Opera performers in Nottingham. Photos by Rey Trombetta.

When you become homeless, it’s not just your home and possessions that you can lose. Homelessness can also strip away your confidence, your relationships and your sense of value, all of which makes it harder to break the cycle and regain the stability of accommodation and employment.

At Streetwise Opera we help people believe in themselves again, make new connections and rebuild hope for the future. And thanks to the Big Give's campaign, you can be part of the solution too.

Through Arts For Impact, which runs from now until 12 noon on Tuesday 24 March, every donation to Streetwise Opera’s A Stage for Every Story campaign will be doubled until we reach our target of £10,000. A generous anonymous donor will be matching donations pound for pound, so if you donate £50 Streetwise Opera will receive £100 and £100 will become £200!

A donation of £50 would pay for one of our Opera Pioneers with lived experience of homelessness to attend a training session, enabling them to learn more about the arts profession and gain the skills and experience they need to take the first step into an arts career.

By donating to Streetwise Opera’s campaign, you will help dismantle the barriers that stop people with experience of homelessness from fulfilling their potential. Thank you for your support.

The beautiful images and films used in this campaign were kindly created by students of the MA Journalism course at London College of Communication, University of the Arts London under the campaign title .
