Pulling You Deeper into Opera
We pull you deeper into opera's most captivating characters, immersing you even deeper in the art form itself. You think you know opera? Think again.
Have you ever wondered about a character’s backstory?
So have we! Every Prologue Opera production is a unique, character-driven, two-part reimagining of a well-known opera.
PART ONE - PROLOGUE
A completely original dramatic performance mixing music from the original piece with songs from other musical styles and newly composed music that tells the never-before-seen stories of key characters.
PART TWO - OPERA
A fast-paced and enthralling reduction of the full original opera, within which the characters you now know take on greater meaning to stir the emotions like never before.

"Prologue Opera explores a new way of bringing audiences closer to an opera by dramatising the back story with original dialogue and songs, before presenting a condensed version of the opera itself. The Becoming format was such a success that…..the end result is lively, inventive and opera newbie friendly."
— Opera Magazine, Autumn 2024 Edition"...a fascinating adaptation of the original.....a fascinating mix of musical genres.....minimalist, professional opera at its best......For a great many reasons, a performance worth far more than the ticket price."
— Hastings Online Times, 2024"Hastings is lucky to have such a polished company make its home there."
