Farewell to our 2024 season
We've loved every moment of passionate heartbreak, Champagne-fuelled waltzing, Revolting Rhymes and acid jazz... we hope you did too.
Thank you for joining us and your support - every ticket sale helps us create sensational experiences for our audiences, community and industry. And huge thanks to everyone involved - our fantastic team, crew, hosts and volunteers, our brilliantly talented cast, The Bristol Ensemble and all our patrons, sponsors and supporters without whom we couldn't make it all happen.
With special thanks to our unsurpassed hosts, Paul & Caroline Weiland, for allowing us to call Belcombe Court home.
“Quite simply the most exciting and immersive experience I have had of opera - visceral, emotional and of the very highest standard. Would rather attend If Opera than La Scala or Covent Garden any day of the week. Highlight of the summer...”
“A brilliantly directed, played and sung production. Five stars! Donizetti’s wonderful music was treated with real respect. Spine-tinglingly good.”
“…this year was something else - Fledermaus was a cut above, and Lucia was stratospheric. Thank you all, it was out of this world.”
“Honestly one of the most special operas I have been to and I am a regular at Covent Garden.”
“A memorable evening with a clear production that was world class.”
“…what a night! The organisation was perfect, the setting amazing and the theatre and stage were fantastic. And the performance was brilliant. The young cast excelled themselves, their energy and commitment to their roles made for a wonderful and memorable opera experience.”
“One of our party said later: "I was somewhat dreading it as I've never been an opera fan. Thank you for inspiring me to love opera.”
“I've been to various operas around Europe and further away but this one, only 25 miles from home, truly blew me away!”
