Heritage Opera Friends Scheme (scroll down for current Friends list)

Since 2006, Heritage Opera has gained a reputation as an artistic force to be reckoned with in the North of England and beyond. We hope to continue to build on our success, and we want to present ever-improving standards in musical performance, production and design, whilst giving professional opportunities to talented performers, both locally and from all over the world.

As we move into a new phase of Heritage Opera, we would like to invite you to become more involved in our work. We have decided that we can offer more opportunities for Friends to become involved, and we have restructured our Friends' Scheme to reflect these new changes.

Would you like to help support the work Heritage Opera does in your area? By joining our friends' scheme you can help us to achieve our artistic aims, and continue to bring professional opera performances to venues around the North west. Your contribution to our funds enables us to raise our game, and offer bigger and better productions each season. We are a registered charity, and you may be entitled to claim tax relief on your donation.
