2020 Season UpdateDear all,
I hope you and yours are well, and in good spirits. Unfortunately we have had to take the decision to postpone our 2020 Season. This decision was not taken lightly, and it is with a very heavy heart that we have to do this. It is primarily for the safety of our artists and audiences that we decided not to deliver our festival as planned. We still hope to perform for live audiences at Waterperry this summer, provided this is feasible within government guidelines on social distancing, and are actively working on some creative ideas to make this happen. All five of our 2020 productions will return for August 2021. We have been in planning since September last year, and a huge amount of time, effort and money has gone into creating these productions that were ready to get into rehearsal. Many of you have been very generous in your support of us this year which is much appreciated. Many of the funds raised will be used towards our projects next year, though WOF must also keep afloat in the meantime. This is a very difficult time for opera and the arts sector. Your support allows us to survive and plan to bring much more entertainment, engagement and education to many people in the future. Music and theatre have the power to heal, inspire and bring us all together. We sincerely hope that we can still indeed all join together in someway this August at Waterperry. Very best, Guy Withers Artistic Director & CEO Waterperry Opera Festival |
