Opera Rara's 55th Season of Operatic Discovery
Our 2025/26 Annual Report
Our 2025/26 Season has seen exciting growth, both in our impact across the sector and in our artistic achievements. We have continued to expand our catalogue of restorations, now recorded for posterity. By cultivating new educational partnerships, we are creating pathways for students, researchers and young artists to engage directly with our musical discoveries.
A year showcasing our joy of discovery
Our 2024/25 Annual Report
Our endeavours were recognised this year at the highest level when we were named Gramophone Label of the Year. Yet Opera Rara is far more than a recording label. We are a dynamic arts charity, committed to bringing extraordinary music to audiences in a variety of ways—whether through world-class performances at venues in London or elsewhere, or through our intimate Salon Series.
Every opera and song recorded is years in the making
Your support helps us discover, restore, perform and record extraordinary music for generations to come.
