The search is on for local singers to perform in An Opera for Sunderland!

Opera Sunderland has created an opera for the City of Sunderland, with football at the heart of the story. Written by award-winning North East author David Almond and composer Marcos Fernandez, An Opera for Sunderland is all about local people taking part.

The opera will be performed in Sunderland Minster 27 – 29 November 2015, and we’re looking for local singers of all ages to take part. Budding performers don’t need to have previous experience; you don’t need to be able to read music or even to have performed opera before – you just need to love singing!

Come along to one of our free workshops and find out more; meet our experienced creative team and sing some songs from the opera.
