BAREFOOT OPERA creates new approaches to opera, connecting with diverse audiences through performances of excellence and imagination.

At the heart of Barefoot is the creation of ensembles of performers – singers, instrumentalists and dancers – training together to produce outstanding, innovative opera and take it to new audiences. Our work includes community engagement, education and working with leading composers to pioneer new music.
