Support our work

Join our story

We create brand-new works of opera, and in so doing we support artists’ (often early-stage) careers, and generate enthusiasm for new opera in communities across the north of England.

Doing all this isn't easy and it isn't cheap - but you would be surprised how far we are able to stretch our budgets. So, we depend on the generosity of public sector grants, private foundations, corporate sponsors, and most importantly: individual gifts.

Become a Patron

Please consider making a donation to Radius Opera.

We depend upon the enthusiasm and generosity of our patrons, and as a Registered Charity, any donation (especially when we are able to reclaim Gift Aid) is hugely appreciated - and genuinely makes a difference!

Our charitable objectives

Our charitable objectives, as registered with the UK Charity Commission, are:

To create and perform new works of opera and establish those works within the broader operatic repertoire; and
To encourage the involvement of the public in productions through direct participation, education projects, and similar initiatives.

Your donation will go entirely towards furthering these aims, and you can be sure that any donation will have an impact - and our gratitude.
