Opera in Hastings since 1983
Performing twice annually under the musical direction of Kenneth Roberts, Opera South East is a registered charity which aims to widen opera's appeal, especially among young people, who are always welcome to perform with the company. With a full chorus and orchestra, the company stages productions in Hastings at the White Rock Theatre, where we have been performing since 1983, and more recently also at the historic St Mary in the Castle. We have also taken productions to other venues in the south east of England, and to Hastings' twin town Schwerte in Germany. You can help to support us by buying tickets, joining the company, becoming a Friend or booking us to give a performance or concert at your venue. We regularly perform concerts to raise funds for charity.
Language
All our operas are sung in English
