We are extremely grateful to the Arts Council England, Birmingham City Council, the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and to the many Trusts, Foundations and individuals who have generously supported our work. 

Benedict Cadbury, Trustee of the George Cadbury Fund, said:  

"Sir Adrian Cadbury was patron of the fledgling City of Birmingham Touring Opera when Simon Halsey was its founding Music Director. 35 years on, the Music Director’s baton has been passed to Alpesh Chauhan and Birmingham Opera Company is continuing the groundbreaking tradition established by Graham Vick. Its great strength is that it creates jobs and artistic opportunities for local people, as well as finding imaginative ways to introduce Birmingham residents to opera. Like my father, I am pleased to support an arts organisation which contributes demonstrably to the local economy. The BOC formula is unique in Europe and we count ourselves fortunate that it is based here in Birmingham." 

If you represent a trust or foundation and would like to find out more about how you could support Birmingham Opera Company in this way, please contact Charlotte, Development Coordinator on 0121 246 6655 or [email protected].
