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 Performance – Handel’s Messiah in November 2026
Richmond Opera will give two performances of Handel’s Messiah with baroque orchestra:
– Sat 14th November at Mary Magdalene Church in central Richmond TW9 1SN
– Sat 28th November at All Saints in Hampton TW12 3RG
Further details for auditions for soloists and rehearsals can be found on our Rehearsals page.
Please note that as an amateur self-funded group Richmond Opera does charge a fee to sing with us.
We gratefully acknowledge recent support from the Humphrey Richardson Taylor Charitable Trust.
