“Applications soared, we were receiving hundreds of inquiries from singers longing to perform. Theatres were dark, but for aspiring creatives, years of dedication and hard work could not be quashed and we had to find a way around it,” said General Director Richard Jones regarding the inception of the project.
Random Opera was created in 2011 with the goal of offering “emerging artists the chance to work together to create full-scale opera productions that deliver a fresh take on our favorite operas, whilst working to the highest possible musical standards.”
