We support young people in Birmingham unlocking their creative potential!

Voices of the Future is a brand-new youth engagement programme which inspires the next generation of Birmingham's artists to get stuck in and spark their creativity.

Young people aged 16-25 will work in collaboration with professional artists to develop new work, explore opera/music, and get involved in creative projects, all whilst reducing isolation, building confidence and developing skills for life.

"RE-WIRE PROMISES TO HELP US RECONNECT."

Check out The Times and The Sunday Times 1st night review by Rebecca Franks. ..

"..a sequence of six 15-minute-or-so operas commissioned by
Birmingham Opera Company, whose motto was emblazoned in neon behind the bar: “Not what you expect from opera.” That’s true, although happily this production was what might be expected from a company known for community work (the chorus scenes involved about 50 local singers, actors and dancers), emerging talent and inventive, immersive stagings (here using three cabaret stages)."

Birmingham Opera Company promised to ‘reconnect me with reality’ with six new 15-minute works. It also involved a coconut shy and an ode to a legendary nightclub
