Donate to Opera Rara's 2023 Big Give Campaign: opera-rara.com/big-give-2023
Since 1970, Opera Rara have championed the careers of emerging artists, giving them their studio recording debuts and bringing them to an international stage. We restore rare and forgotten operas, providing unique opportunities to artists, and we need your support to champion exceptional talent.
Situation
Starting a career is challenging. Starting a career as a world-class opera singer is a super-human feat. Artists are facing new and continued difficulties with fewer opportunities, lessening their chances of achieving a rewarding, robust career. Even through challenging times for our sector, Opera Rara continues to support emerging artists’ debuts, helping to form their reputation in the music world. But, creating world-class recording and performance opportunities is a costly endeavour.
Solution
We continue to facilitate debut studio recordings with exciting emerging international singers. We have expanded this work by launching a Salon Concerts series and by providing further opportunities for international exposure through our online events. In the recording studio, our emerging artists leave a lasting artistic legacy and learn from the best conductors, musicologists, linguists, and coaches in a professional studio setting. This is reflected in their highly acclaimed performances.
Campaign Aims
Provide performance and recording opportunities for emerging artists.
Continue programming our Salon Concerts for our emerging artists, providing the opportunity to work in venues across London and beyond.
Finance our production costs to continue providing the rare opportunity for artists to be a part of a truly unique studio recording experience.
Champion emerging artists in increased exposure, international features, reviews, broadcasts and streaming.
Provide an artistic legacy for emerging artists through their recordings.
Opera Rara does not receive public funding - every pound spent on our recordings and concerts must be raised from generous individuals and organisations. The support we receive makes our work possible and directly affects the lives of artists. Singers who have made their recording debut with us include: Renée Fleming, Ermonela Jaho, Michael Spyres, Joyce El-Khoury and Iván Ayón-Rivas just to name a few. We continue to see many of our emerging artists make positive strides in the music world.
