Opera Unlimited is a UK based professional opera company that produces new works in collaboration with charities, businesses and individuals. We combine established singers with the best young talent in the UK. Our first two productions were The Lovely Ladies at Christies and The Mad Duchess at Boughton House, created by the company's team of composer, Peter Cowdrey, director Rosie Johnston and librettist Hamish Robinson. Our singers included Michael Chance CBE, Joan Rodgers CBE, Anita Watson, James Edwards, Toby Stafford-Allen and Lilly Pappaiaounou. We partnered with Maggies Cancer Centres to raise a combined total of £80,000. We performed The Lovely Ladies at the Buxton Opera Festival in 2011 and the Mad Duchess at Claxton Opera in 2012. Future plans include a commission from Gonzalez Byass to be performed in Jerez and London in August 2014; an opera based on The Portrait of Dorian Gray with tenor Toby Spence, director Rosie Johnston and designer Deborah Gourlay, and a puppet opera based on Paradise Lost with the London School of Puppetry, to be premiered at Bartonmere in Suffolk in 2016 |
