Plans nearly finalised for our Messiah concerts this November!

We'll let singers know soon about auditions for solos.

And all welcome to join the chorus - no audition needed there, but you'll need to have sung Messiah before or be a strong sight-reader.

Richmond Opera is delighted to announce that the Humphrey Richardson Taylor trust supported our Susanna performance!

Amateur opera is a labour of love and ever in need of financial help, so our heartfelt thanks go out to them, and to everyone who helps make our work possible.

We know a lot of you are fans of baroque music. So do look at @RipienoChoir 's concert in a couple of week's time - French Baroque sung and played on period instruments!

"Boo!" to those lecherous elders seeking to have their way with Susanna. And then they try to blame her!
