Brum Commissions All our work explores the epic power of opera here and now, with the people of Birmingham. Brum Commissions sees creative teams doing just that as they present brand new short form opera. After the success of our 2023 Brum Commissions supported by PRS Foundation, we are keen to hear from composers and creatives as we take our next steps in growing this exciting strand of new work here at Birmingham Opera Company. CURRENTLY We have an open call for composers for 2024-2025 Brum Commissions. Apply before 24 May 2024 here.
