Ever since Easter, Merry Opera has been busily planning for the rest of 2025 and into 2026. With tunes of last season’s Fledermaus still fresh in our heads, we are now getting ready for three separate productions. November and early December 2025 will bring the staged Messiah back to southern England – our 18th revival tour. Later in December a production of Hänsel and Gretel premieres in schools in Deal and Oswestry. In 2026 (February to March and June to early July) we will go on tour with Mozart’s Così fan tutte.

​

We are so grateful for your support as an audience member. Would you like to do more to ensure that opera continues to enrich lives? Please spread the word and encourage others to come!

​

If you decide to make an extra donation to contribute to Merry Opera's various upcoming projects, such as the overall programme, singers' fees, or costumes, here are a few suggestions on how much to give:

​

£30 - Merry Opera tries to recycle and reuse props where available, but sometimes we do need other props to help us tell the story.

£40 - Costumes are an essential element to a production, and your donation will help the designer of each production find what suits best!

£50 - Merry Opera pays professional singers in the cast with a competitive fee. Your donation will contribute to the singer's fee and help us acknowledge the musician's hard work.

£100 - This will help Merry Opera cover the cost of designing and printing programmes.

​

If you change your mind, you can close the window without making a donation.

All public donations made will be matched by one of our sponsors.
