Opera Rara launch Big Give 2023 campaign to support emerging artists

At a time when opportunities seem to be dwindling, Opera Rara continue to give a chance to emerging artists to share their talent with the world through our internationally acclaimed recordings and performances. These artists leave a lasting legacy through their inspiring performances of rare and forgotten operas while learning from the best conductors, musicologists, language coaches and renowned singers in a professional studio setting.

Since 1970, Opera Rara have championed the careers of emerging artists, giving them their studio recording debuts and bringing them to an international stage. We restore rare and forgotten operas, providing unique opportunities to artists, and we need your support to champion exceptional talent.

Situation
Starting a career is challenging. Starting a career as a world-class opera singer is a super-human feat. Artists are facing new and continued difficulties with fewer opportunities, lessening their chances of achieving a rewarding, robust career. Even through challenging times for our sector, Opera Rara continues to support emerging artists’ debuts, helping to form their reputation in the music world. But, creating world-class recording and performance opportunities is a costly endeavour.

Solution
We continue to facilitate debut studio recordings with exciting emerging international singers. We have expanded this work by launching a Salon Concerts series and by providing further opportunities for international exposure through our online events. In the recording studio, our emerging artists leave a lasting artistic legacy and learn from the best conductors, musicologists, linguists, and coaches in a professional studio setting. This is reflected in their highly acclaimed performances.
