Opera Foundry develops the talents of individual opera performers through focussed coaching and performance opportunities. We provide individual opera singers the opportunity to develop their skills within the realm of opera and provide them with performance opportunities to present their work and hone their performance technique.

For our audiences, we showcase our singers through themed concerts. The performances are high quality and simply portrayed, making it about the music. By removing the stuffy image often associated with opera, our performances can be enjoyed by both seasoned opera lovers and new audiences alike. In addition to an enjoyable evening, by attending our performances audience members are supporting the next generation of opera talent, and may even be getting a sneak preview of the next superstars!
