What the charity does
Kentish Opera's purpose is to educate the public in the operatic arts to further the development of public appreciation and taste in said arts. To do so, we perform opera and operetta in English in traditional productions with professional soloists and professional orchestra. In 2022/23 we performed Yeomen of the Guard and presented a Gala opera event.
