Swansea City Opera

Swansea City Opera was formed in 2004 with the financial support of the City and County of Swansea. It also receives funding from Arts Council Wales and Arts Council England. Swansea City Opera is committed to maintaining high standards of production and musical excellence, presenting socially accessible opera and procuring some of the finest singers and orchestral players in the country. The company provides a nationwide touring schedule, assisting with the cultural development of Wales and Swansea, whilst, working in partnership with its training school The Opera School Wales, it offers chorus/understudy opportunities to gifted young singers helping further their careers within the opera discipline. For this tour Swansea City Opera are delighted to be working with local community choirs at each theatre. We are proud of our association with David Syrus - Head of Music at The Royal Opera House Covent Garden, who comes annually to work with the school.
