Mahogany Opera Group is a leading commissioner and producer of new opera and music theatre. Since 2014, we have created 19 new commissions and toured them extensively across the UK and internationally, receiving many accolades and awards for our boundary-pushing and inclusive work. The company’s vision and artistic programme is defined by Artistic Director Frederic Wake-Walker together with a broad range of artists, collaborators and creative partners from international festivals, regional venues, music education hubs, universities and orchestral ensembles.

Our ten-minute Snappy Operas have been developed with and performed by primary school children alongside professional artists. The Snappy Opera programme delivers in-school activity, teacher training and public performances in communities across the UK.

Various Stages is our Research & Development programme of open calls, workshops, public showcases, discussions, feedback sessions and mentoring support. It has been a platform for the creative development of over a hundred artists in the last six years.

Beyond the work itself, Mahogany Opera is a creative space for the development of new ideas and the sparking of new connections – a place where people can encounter music and theatre for the first time, where artists can forge new creative relationships and where time is given for research, reflection and discussion. Our approach is deeply collaborative and defined by people – by a belief that everyone involved has a creative role to play and that includes, crucially, the audience.

The Mahogany Opera team is based in London, Huddersfield, Glasgow and Berlin, giving us a unique perspective when creating work and building partnerships.

In January 2014 The Opera Group and Mahogany Opera merged to become Mahogany Opera Group. Mahogany Opera Group creates new opera in new ways, in different spaces and places throughout the UK and internationally. 

With a spirit of adventure and enquiry, Mahogany Opera Group collaborates with established and emerging artists, drawing on a range of cultural influences, theatrical methods, art-forms and technologies and involves local communities in the creative process.

With everything we do, Mahogany Opera Group aims to make a serious contribution towards opera as a living, vibrant art form, to build fruitful and ongoing relationships and to create inspiring and memorable moments in the lives of our audience.
