EUROPEAN OPERA CENTRE

The European Opera Centre launched in 1997 maintains two broad aims: to help people of high potential move from education to employment in opera; and to develop audiences for opera. Carefully designed projects provide opportunities to singers, repetiteurs and others. Activities include full productions, productions in concert, concerts and recitals, recordings, masterclasses and work in schools.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age
Latest return is overdue

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year
