Welcome!
Thank you so much for attending Deck The Halls With Streetwise Opera on 15 December. We are so grateful to Simon Callow, all our guest performers and All Hallows by the Tower church for their support.
As well as providing an opportunity to celebrate the festive season, these annual concerts allow us to share the amazing talent of the Streetwise Opera performers, and to demonstrate the transformative power our work has on both people affected by homelessness and the artists they work alongside.
We would love to have your feedback about this event, as this helps us measure our impact and report back to our funders. The survey is anonymous and will take only about two minutes of your time.
“I enjoy performing and being part of the group. It gives me confidence to stand in my truth. Yes, I might have been homeless but look what I’m doing – and these are skills I can use in different situations.”
– Streetwise Opera performer
For 20 years, Streetwise Opera has shown the impact opera can have on the lives of those who have experienced homelessness, providing inspiration and empowerment while they rebuild their lives and identities. Streetwise Opera participants work with world-class musicians, directors, choreographers and designers to co-create exciting and innovative productions, such as Re:Discover, that reflect a diverse range of perspectives and experiences.
By supporting Streetwise Opera you will help people who have been homeless feel seen and heard, and enable them to rediscover their identities as creative and valued members of society.
We would be grateful if you would consider a donation towards our work.
A donation of £10 would pay for refreshments at two weekly workshops, ensuring that the performers can focus on the activity without distraction
A donation of £50 would pay for a support worker to accompany our performers on an opera trip, enabling them to access great art
A donation of £100 would pay for transport costs for 10 performers to access a weekly workshop for the first time
