Tailor made opera brings sweet notes to a garden Arranging a full operatic performance can be daunting at any time with its demands of cast, clothing, sets and crew. Add to that the vagaries of travelling the world and it could be a task too difficult to contemplate, let alone handle! Nicholas Heath remains calm, however, as he plans the forthcoming visit of Opera a la Carte to Ireland in July.
Getting Così under canvas Opera in a tent? It's one of the attractions of a garden staging of 'Così Fan Tutte' with a Raj theme, along with some promising young singers, writes Arminta Wallace

Wayward Don wins the hearts of music lovers A colourful assembly gathered in a gracious garden to witness justice being done. There were gentlemen in powdered wigs, ladies in dramatic gowns and masks, some comic, a couple sinister, others rather beautiful. And this was only the audience.

Apart from our normal galas in 2013 we are offering with our sister company Regents Opera tailor made performances of La Traviata and Carmen.

Since its inception in 1993 Opera a la Carte has established itself as one of the UK’s most exciting and original chamber opera companies.

Its founder and director, Nicholas Heath, has used his extensive musical and performing experience as well as his knowledge of the established talents and rising stars at Covent Garden and ENO to create a flexible company equally at home with cabaret and full scale opera seria.

Always entirely faithful to the spirit of opera and each work, the musical and artistic directors adapt the score working closely with the singers and other instrumentalists; an accordion for the tango Barber of Seville which was awarded 5 star critic choice in the Times, wind quartet for Mozart, string quartet for Verdi, and organ and percussion for Puccini.   Equally at home performing at corporate, public or intimate private occasions, the company prides itself on its personal style, flexibility and ability to appeal to an ever expanding audience.

Their flair and enthusiasm has provoked great critical acclaim … ‘Dare we say, better than Glyndebourne…’
