Wedmore Opera

Wedmore Opera Exceptional opera in a village setting. A small group of people, with a wild idea and the skill to realise it.

We at Wedmore Opera believe that the arts are magical, and since 1988 we have been putting on full-scale operas in our village in the heart of Somerset. That’s how Wedmore Opera began, 32 years ago.

20 productions, 47 performances and thousands of hours of professional and voluntary effort later, Wedmore Opera has done some wonderful things, including two self-commissioned operas, Jago (2000) an

d Eleanor Vale (2012), as well as numerous events that really bring life to the community. If you live in Wedmore, or the surrounding area, and would like to get involved, whether on or off stage, we would love to hear from you!! We are always looking for extra hands to help us keep doing what we love.
