Activities

Opera Rara widens the operatic repertoire and develops artistic talent by restoring,recording, performing and promiting rare and forgotten works from the 19th and 20th centuries. We spend our charitable income on the execution of recording projects and on the production of concerts while nurturing the current and next generation of remarkable singers, as we have done since 1970.

Objects: The Charity?s objects are specifically restricted to the following: To advance the education of the public by encouraging and promoting the study of operatic art and in particular the lesser-known works of operatic art through research, making recordings for sale and distribution to the public and performance in public concerts and by such other activities as the trustees shall think fit; To further the education of young singers and artists by providing opportunities to partake in operatic and orchestral performances and concerts; To encourage and support for the public benefit all art forms, particularly but not exclusively involving operatic art and other forms of music, including other cultural and educational activities in order to make these more accessible to the public; and To benefit any charity and to further any purposes in the operatic sector which are charitable in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. This provision may be amended by special resolution but only with the prior written consent of the Commission.
