Streetwise Opera

Laughter, smiles and tears in their eyes... ❤️ We were really moved today to read this blog by Callum Given on the Centre for Homelessness Impact website about the powerful arts and homelessness collaboration between the Academy of St Martin in the Fields and The Connection at St Martin-in-the-Fields. This is the kind of project we should all be shouting about 🤩 https://lnkd.in/ef6Ra6Ef

Massive thanks to Big Yellow Self Storage for allowing us to use their storage facilities at Nine Elms. It's especially important after our Re:Discover project to be able to save some of our gear, props and documents for future use 😍

We’re nominated to the 2024 International Opera Awards in the Equal Opportunities & Impact category 🤩 This award recognises the work by opera companies and arts charities to ensure opera is truly an art form for all – and that everyone feels welcome, both in the audience and on the stage  ℹ️ https://lnkd.in/e5JvmVbD #OperaAwards2024 International Opera Awards

Did you hear that Rory Stewart is a Streetwise Opera fan? Don’t take our word for it – listen to Rory and Alastair talking about us on The Rest is Politics podcast last week in response to a question from our CEO Rachael Williams.  ‘When I’m listening to Streetwise Opera [...] I’m listening to it because it’s as good as anything in the world. It’s not the sort of condescending, patronizing thing – I'm listening to it because I love the music.’  Thank you so much for highlighting the importance of our work with people affected by homelessness!
