WELCOME to Swansea City Opera. Since 2006 the company has toured high quality opera to venues throughout the UK including many theatres that would never normally bring this wonderful art form to their audiences, striving to make our productions clear and easily accessible for everyone.
Over the years we have also undertaken many outreach and educational projects, and last year saw us work on the refugee camps in Lebanon in a heritage project funded by the British Council. This year we have been fortunate to receive funding from Arts Council Wales to work with Men’s Sheds Cymru, a wonderful organisation that supports older men in particular who are at risk from loneliness and social isolation in Wales.
Please have a look at our Youtube presentation that Brendan gave to Men’s Sheds Cymru, it has a short history of Swansea City Opera and more about progress with Shoulder to Shoulder.
