Every year we invite the peoples of Birmingham to take part in our award-winning productions alongside international professional artists. There's no need to audition to be part of it and we'll help you to learn all the music by ear, so you don't have to know how to read music. Whether you’ve got lots of performing experience or are a complete newbie when it comes to singing and acting- everyone's welcome! We’ll give you everything you need to be performance ready including training, MP3 listening tracks and support from professional mentors all for FREE. We also reimburse up to £4.60 in travel expenses for each rehearsal you attend. Want to be in New Year? We’re excited to invite you to get involved in our next production New Year, by British composer Michael Tippett, which will take place in July. New Year tells the intertwining stories of Somewhere Today and Nowhere Tomorrow. Its world premiere took place in Houston, Texas in 1989, followed by a run of performances in Glyndebourne, UK in 1990. It hasn’t been seen live since, not anywhere. With six performances in the first two weeks in July 2024, New Year will be one of the hottest tickets of the year. Tickets available from May. New Year will be directed by opera legend Keith Warner, making his debut with Birmingham Opera Company. BOC Music Director Alpesh Chauhan will conduct the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra alongside hundreds of Brummies in an extraordinary space. As usual, the venue is top secret… for now. There's no need to audition to be an actor or singer in the chorus. Whether you've performed many times before or you're a complete newbie when it comes to opera - everyone's welcome aged 16+! *** GIVE IT A GO SESSIONS We holding some taster sessions for people to come and have go at singing or acting.
