 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 distil 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…’
