02 Activities
What the charity does
We perform operas, operettas and other musical events to local audiences in community venues in Merseyside and around. These are normally sung in English and by amateur singers. We also arrange master classes and other educational events to help our performing members, and the general public, develop their musical and dramatic skills and their understanding and appreciation of musical drama.
