Welcome to the website of Better Strangers Opera!
We are a feminist opera collective dedicated to the production of musical performances for, with and about all kinds of women.
Our next production is Ah! Forget My Fate - A Complete History of Women in Opera (Abridged!). Click here for more details.
Our aims are:
- To create opportunities for women in opera as performers, composers, technicians, directors, producers and other underrepresented capacities.
- To create opera performances that engage with feminist ideas and female audiences.
- To develop audiences of all ages, races, income brackets, sexualities and gender identities.
- To demonstrate the relevance of opera, as a genre, to a younger, politically and technologically knowledgeable generation.
- To create new operas and musical productions featuring strong female-voiced roles for a variety of fach types.
- To create an environment in which people of alternative subcultures, different abilities and body types are welcomed and encouraged to participate without compromising artistic excellence.
