The Welsh National Opera believe in the power of opera to change people’s lives.

Their goal is to convey the force, drama, and raw emotion of opera to as broad an audience as possible via performances that are distinguished by an unwavering pursuit of artistic excellence.

As a national company with worldwide acclaim, they are at the core of Welsh music-making and play an important role in the communities they serve in England. They collaborate with their partners to find and develop emerging operatic talent, as well as to offer a springboard for worldwide careers.

Their lifeblood is touring, and they aim to offer the best quality work throughout their artistic programme, delighting and inspiring audiences at their operas and concerts, and delivering transformational experiences via their youth and community work.

Building on their 70-year heritage and roots in South Wales communities, they want to show future generations that opera is a fulfilling, relevant, and universal art form.
