Celebrating over 20 years of music-making
Richmond Opera, based in West London, presents one fully-staged opera and one major concert a year, along with a variety of smaller informal events including members’ concerts and one-off performances. We are an inclusive community group which welcomes amateurs and aspiring professionals. We are led by professionals and our members include singers, dancers and orchestral players as well as those involved in back-stage production.
We aim for the highest musical and performance standards, holding internal and external auditions for key solo singing roles although, whenever possible, we cast existing members in solo roles. Anyone is welcome to join the chorus and also be considered for solo roles.
Our Musical Director is Lindsay Bramley, a professional conductor and opera singer.
Next Performances – Handel’s Messiah
Richmond Opera are planning two or three performances of Handel’s Messiah at venues in Richmond this October/November 2026, some with baroque orchestra.
Singers – we will cast soloists from within our company. Details of soloist auditions to be announced. Soloists will also be part of the Chorus. Anyone just wanting to sing the choruses is very welcome and won’t need to audition.
One performance is confirmed for November 14th at the Mary Magdalene Church in central Richmond. More details to follow. Please subscribe to our mailing list to receive more details of rehearsals and performances.
(Note that as an amateur self-funded group Richmond Opera does charge a fee to sing with us.)
