Streetwise Opera@streetwiseopera.bsky.social · 2y agoWe’re kicking off Reimagining The Classics, our bold new artistic project, with a chance to double your impact. From midday today to noon on Tuesday 25 March, we’re taking part in the Big Give's #ArtsForImpact campaign, where every donation will be matched.
Participants will uncover the cultural and political forces that shaped these operas, then work with composers and directors to create bold new music. These reimagined pieces will take the stage alongside major opera company productions in spring 2026.
We’re launching Reimagining The Classics, our next major artistic project. With partners like Opera North, we’ll explore some of opera’s most beloved – but sometimes problematic – works, reimagining them with fresh perspectives. Find out more at streetwiseopera.org/reimagining?...
Reimagining The Classics
