## **Objectives and activities**

The Trustees confirm that they have had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. 

The Opera Makers achieves is objectives primarily through the staging and performance of operatic productions throughout the UK, together with masterclasses and other educational activities. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

**1) Ethel Smyth's Der Wald** - This performance was curated to advance the education of the public by presenting an opera which at the time of performance had never been recorded, and which was the first ever composed by a woman to be staged at the Metropolitan Opera. It supported a cast of six emerging professional performers, offering them paid work, exposure, and coaching in music and the German language.  It also featured a chorus of student artists who volunteered their time int return for coaching and support from The Opera Makers' musical director, Panaretos Kyriatzidis.  The performance also advanced the education of the public as it was presented alongside an entertaining and informative short lecture on the life of Ethel Smyth and the history of the opera from Smyth expert Christopher Wiley PhD.  It attracted an audience of over 100. 

**2) The Servant Mistress R&D -** This R&D week provided work and support for two emerging performers as well as emerging director - supported by Arts Council England - Becca Marriott.  It also provided support and training to a volunteer trainee director and assistant director, Edie Bailey.  The work was created in collaboration with London Punch and Judy, and specifically designed to make classical opera as fun and accessible for a young audience as possible.  It was made in partnership with The Little Angel Theatre, forging the company's path making collaborative theatre.  The R&D was presented free of charge to a group of local children - 30 in total - who were invited to give their

feedback on the piece.  Many of them had never seen opera before.  The showing was very successful, and the organisation is looking for means to produce the work in schools in the coming year.  This was funded by The Leche Trust, Fenton Arts Trust and Arts Council England (through a grant awarded to support emerging director and Opera Makers' artistic director, Becca Marriott). 

**3) Gala for the King's Coronation -** The organisation was invited to return to the community of Earl's Court following their successful series of Jubilee concerts in 2021. 

**4) Summer Gala -** The organisation hosted a summer gala presenting favourite arias as well as lesserknown pieces and exploring gender-swapped arias.  This supported four emerging singers providing paid employment as well as coaching, exposure, and support, and helped promote the arts and advance the education of the public by introducing a large audience to a range of classical pieces explained and presented in a lively and engaging way. 

**5) Turandot -** The organisation's focus in 2023 was the staging of a radical new adaptation of Puccini's Turandot.  This was a co-production between The Opera Makers and Ellandar, a theatre company promoting the work of BESEA artists.  This was the first production of Puccini's opera outside of Asia to feature an entirely East Asian cast.  It received three nominations for coveted Off West End Theatre Awards and two finalist nominations.  The piece involved employing a cast of 12 emerging artist and 1 performer partaking in a student artist's scheme; offering all those involved paid employment, coaching, support, networking opportunities and advice and exposure.  The production also employed a creative team of 14 artists.  It advanced the arts through presenting a thrilling and accessible production of the opera in a venue frequented by diverse audiences.  The show attracted over 850 audience over 5 shows.  Detailed programme notes also helped advance the education of the general public regarding the complex history of Puccini's opera and the role it plays in Chinese culture.  The organisation are currently seeking a future life for the piece, with a potential tour to York Theatre Royal. The piece was funded by Arts Council England, The Cockayne Trust, The Opera Makers and Ellandar Productions - who contributed £3,000 to the piece - as well as some crowdfunding (received by the organisation in January 2024). 

The organisation continued its work seeking further funding and building new audiences. 

## **Contribution made by volunteers** 

Significant support from volunteers was given to allow the activities to date to take place. A large proportion of the work carried out by the team is on a voluntary basis. Total Volunteer hours were recorded as roughly 1,500 hours. This in-kind support is deemed to be valued at £22,500 (equivalent to £15 per volunteer hour). However, this valuation has only been considered for internal purposes and has not been included in this Annual Financial Report. 

## **Financial review** 

The Charity made a surplus of £1,155 in the year (2022: £5,418).  At the year end total funds amounted to £8,626 (2022: £7,471), consisting of unrestricted funds of £8,254 (2022: £5,971) and restricted funds of £372 (2022: £1,500). 

The Charity aims to hold a reserve of £1,000 at any time to provide a buffer against any unforeseen expenses, legal or technical, which might occur.  These reserves would be used to meet any of the Charity's obligations should it need to fold.

**THE OPERA MAKERS TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 (continued)** 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity is a CIO governed by a board of trustees. 

The Trustees, the Artistic Director, the Musical Director and the production team regularly engage in discussions about the organisational structure, definition of posts, roles, responsibilities and lines of communication. 

Trustee Meetings take place regularly and contact is maintained between meetings electronically. A Business Plan is in place and subject to ongoing review. 

All trustees are provided with the latest edition of "The essential trustee" as well as links to all other documents published by gov.uk relating to the duty of care trustees have.   Less experienced trustees are offered guidance and support by those trustees who have taken on trusteeships for other organisations. New Trustees are also provided with: copies of the Constitution, and any existing Annual and Financial Reports, and to all key online archive material: e.g. budgets, minutes of meetings, etc. 

## **Risk and Going concern** 

The trustees do not consider there to be any going concern issues at present. The board considers the risks to which the charity might be exposed, in terms of both underlying operations and for each production, and considers that adequate systems are in place to minimise and mitigate exposure to them. 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees' annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the CIO and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the CIO for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the CIO will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the CIO and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets

of the CIO and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the CIO and financial information included on the CIO's website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE OPERA MAKERS** 

I report on the accounts of The Opera Makers for the year ended 31 December 2023 which are set out on pages 7 to 24. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).  I report in respect of my examination of  the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement** 

My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

In<br>the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense<br>at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.<br>**Donated services and**<br>**facilities**<br>Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the<br>gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.<br>**Income from interest,**<br>**royalties and dividends**<br>This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be<br>measured reliably.<br>**Income from membership**<br>**subscriptions**<br>Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and<br>Legacies.<br>Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits<br>are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from<br>charitable activities.<br>**Investment gains and**|Yes<br>No<br>N/a|Yes<br>No<br>N/a|Yes<br>No<br>N/a|
