Streetwise Opera
We run a programme of singing and creative workshops in homeless centres and arts venues in five regions across England, which we are delivering digitally during the pandemic. We are also a critically-acclaimed opera company, and the people who take part in our workshops create and perform in extraordinary new productions working alongside exceptional professional artists.

We’ve packed 2 hours and 36 minutes of energy and joy into a playlist for our London Walk on 20 March.
Expect Offenbach’s Infernal Galop, Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now, Mozart’s Queen of the Night, ABBA’s Waterloo, Bernstein’s Mambo and, of course, The Proclaimers’ I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles).
And for anyone tempted to stay by the Thames and watch the sunrise, it ends with Rossini’s William Tell Overture, including that beautiful duet for cor anglais and flute, full of hope.
Have a listen via the link at the bottom of our campaign page. And while you’re there, please consider making a donation to support Streetwise Opera and cheer on the wonderful people walking to raise funds for our life-changing work.
