events held throughout 2020-2021.
Manor Opera has created employment for local
artists, local firms and supported both
professional and young artists.
Manor Opera has co hosted events with Pilgrim
Roots in support of raising awareness of the
history of the Mayflower Pilgrims through its
Heritage Day and Opera in the Gala, therefore
