In a few short years, Wild Arts has garnered a string of 5-star reviews and audience acclaim for its performances.
We bring the most exciting up-and-coming and established singers, the finest players, and the most innovative directors together to create exceptional performances at over 70 extraordinary spaces in the UK and Europe.
The magic happens in the marriage between the space, the singers, the players and the audience. We aim for immediacy and storytelling - performances that are organic, wild and true to the place. No two performances are the same. We travel everywhere in the UK, bringing music and opera to you.
We engage young audiences, introducing opera to the next generation.
We work with hundreds of primary school students every year, offering a diverse programme of workshops and performances in connection to our annual summer opera, as well as dynamic and engaging lesson plans, young performer spotlight opportunities, and online resources to aid teachers.
We give precious performance opportunities and mentoring to emerging artists.
Our Young Artist Programme nurtures new talent. We give several musicians each year the opportunity to hone their craft in a professional production setting – gaining confidence through vocal, language, and acting coaching, and through rehearsals and performances with an experienced ensemble of established artists. We give paid opportunities to young directors, conductors, stage managers, designers and producers.
We help our world.
Wild Arts creates world-class music opera that keeps within the our planet’s limits. The charity developed its strategies alongside the Theatre Green Book – with a renewable approach to travel, food, energy use, and partnerships.
Where others have grand sets, we focus on costume and the magnetism of our performers; where others have lorries full of equipment, we have the boot of an electric car.
The Theatre Green Book has brought together theatre-makers and sustainability experts to create a common standard for making theatre sustainably.
We are a growing movement of people in arts and culture declaring a climate and ecological emergency. We pledge to tell truths, take action and seek justice. Arts and culture can lead in creating a regenerative future that protects the planet and sustains everyone, everywhere.
