**OPERA ON LOCATION** 

**YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The objectives of Opera on Location are to advance public education, appreciation and understanding of the arts, particularly the art of opera in all its aspects, by the production and presentation of public operatic performances. 

To reach its objectives, Opera on Location innovatively stage affordable high-quality opera in unconventional performance spaces sung in English by young performers in the early stages of their careers/professional singers requiring further stage experience. 

## **Public benefit** 

The aims and benefits of Opera on Location are contained within the body of this Report. We have considered the key principles of the Charity Commission’s general guidance about public benefit and have concluded that Opera on Location meets all the requirements. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

The year ended 31 March 2024 saw Opera on Location scale back its more usual large-scale performance for an intimate concert celebrating 10 years of the company. Featuring singers well known to the company, a single performance was held at Upper Chapel, Sheffield, that was hosted by Ashley Pearson and was a ten-year retrospective of Opera on Location’s many successes. The concert was praised for featuring fantastic musicianship of our pianist Philip Voldman and singers, Andrea Tweedale, Victoria Gray, Gareth Lloyd and Thomas D Hopkinson, and also for the intimacy and welcoming nature of the concert, and environment cultivated by the event host, Ashely Pearson and event manager, Kathryn Gasic. 

A further success was the return of our _Marriage of Figaro_ A Level Workshop. The welcome return to education was truly remarkable to behold this year. Pupils from across the region travelled to the Millennium Galleries in Sheffield to participate in our seminars on, not only _The Marriage of Figaro,_ but we also added a new workshop on the _Development of Singing in Musical Theatre._ As part of the AQA A Level specification, this new topic leant itself perfectly to us, and pupils were thrilled and excited to hear our singers and even participate in large group singing events at the end of each seminar. Led again by the renowned musicologist, Nigel Simeone, the day was a great success. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The Trustees are satisfied with the result for the year ended 31 March 2024, being a surplus of £17,584 (2023: £7,005), which is mainly due to timing of grants being received in this financial year in respect of _A Masked Ball_ , the performance of which will take place in August 2024. 

Total income in the year ended 31 March 2024 amounted to £32,165 (2023: £42,068). This consisted of grant income of £26,150 (2023: £33,652), income from charitable activities of £2,572 (2023: £5,501), donations from individuals of £3,117 (2023: £2,908) and income from investments of £326 (2023: £7). 

Total expenditure in the year ended 31 March 2024 amounted to £14,581 (2023: £35,063). 

At 31 March 2024, the charity held total funds of £27,512 (2023: £9,928), consisting of £6,862 (2023: £3,678) of unrestricted funds and £20,650 (2023: £6,250) of restricted funds. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

It is the Trustees’ policy to maintain a level of free reserves which provides a stable base for their continuing activities, whilst at the same time ensuring excessive funds are not accumulated. As at 31 March 2024, the charity held free reserves of £6,862 (2023: £3,678). Opera on Location aims to hold unrestricted reserves of 6 to 12 months of annual expenditure, and so will continue to build its reserves to meet this target.

**OPERA ON LOCATION** 

**YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE** 

## **Structure** 

Opera on Location is governed by a constitution and is registered under the Charities Act 2011 as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (Charity Registration Number: 1190010) from 19 June 2020. 

## **Governance** 

New trustees are appointed at duly convened meetings, on the approval of the current trustees. The Board of Trustees comprises a minimum of three trustees with no maximum limit. The trustees meet regularly to review the strategy and performance of the charity. 

## **PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES** 

The principal risks facing the charity, as considered by the Trustees, include: 

**1. Not receiving external funding grants** Opera on Location were extremely grateful for the funding received during the financial year. If, however, Opera on Location were to be unsuccessful in receiving external funding, the programme of activity would be altered to suit an achievable budget whilst trying to maintain our high production values. 

**2. Poor quality of performance and loss of audience** Opera on Location has gained a fantastic reputation with each project adding to this. The Co-artistic Directors have processes in place when recruiting freelancers to ensure they are of the highest quality available. Opera on Location regularly collects audience feedback after performances to help monitor how productions have been received, this in some extent informs what aspects to expand on with future productions. Furthermore, Opera on Location invites external and peer reviewers to performances for an objective and critical eye. 

**3. Loss of key personnel** Opera on Location is currently a small organisation and so loss of key personnel could have a detrimental impact on the charity. Any such loss of key personnel would be looked into immediately and an action plan drawn up to ensure that the charity would be able to continue to operate smoothly. 

**4. Global pandemic** 

Fortunately for Opera on Location, its overheads are low. This allows it to curate a programme which is affordable and achievable depending on the budget available at the time whilst maintaining a creative flair to our programming. Should there be a future pandemic Opera on Location would apply the learnings from during the Covid-19 pandemic.

**OPERA ON LOCATION** 

**YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The rest of 2024 will celebrate the previous ten years of Opera on Location with the return of an exciting August opera. Opera on Location honours the ten years of activity with a thrilling and somewhat immersive production of Verdi’s _A Masked Ball_ . Director and librettist, Ashley Pearson, is creating a bespoke version of the score and will direct the show to echo the party atmosphere of the piece. Circus acts will set the scene before the performance begins, and with food and drink available to purchase during an extended interval, the summer will be kicked off in great fashion. 

For the first time Opera on Location will utilise a community chorus made up of amateur singers from across the region. Two choirs have agreed to partner with the charity for this production: Vivacity Community Choir and the Adult Autistic Choir. The remaining chorus roles will be opened up to other amateur singers from across South Yorkshire via an open call. Opera on Location is thrilled to be working with the local community in this way. 

_A Masked Ball_ will also feature an 18 piece orchestra which is the largest ensemble Opera on Location have employed to date. 

In the spring of 2025 Opera on Location will also be part of the Classical Sheffield Festival and collaborate with Sheffield Philharmonic Orchestra, Sheffield Music Hub and Hallam Choral Society to produce _Carmen_ . This semi-staged production will be held at Canon Medical Arena and will be on the final day of the Classical Sheffield Festival.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards). 

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

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

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

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

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions, disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the charity’s constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

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

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section  130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do 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.

Short term debtors are initially measured at transaction price, less any impairment. 

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash in hand and deposits held with banks. 

## **Creditors**

## **Financial instruments** 

Opera on Location only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their amortised cost. 

## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects current and future periods. 

In the view of the Trustees, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustments to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.
