THE OPERA MAKERS

The Opera Makers produce immersive and bold adaptations of classical operas as well as new works, masterclasses, concerts and online opera content working with both emerging and established artists to promote opera to the broadest community as well as providing support and training to those at the start of their careers.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending since inception
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
