(UK, 1136851) Browse eventsCo-Opera Co. was recently described in the press as “........ a revolutionary opera company whose values are firmly rooted in the time-honoured, traditional values of a good, old-fashioned, hands-on Apprenticeship” In 2008 soprano Kate Flowers and lighting designer Paul Need realised that there was a significant gap at the very start of many singers' careers, with very little opportunity for them to work alongside more experienced members of the profession in prestigious, professional productions at this crucial stage in their career development. The Apprenticeship Stage - Earning while Learning. So Kate and Paul thought they should do something about it, and in July 2008 Co-Opera Co. was formed.Since we first opened our doors for a series of weekend workshops in Bethnal Green in January 2009 Co-Opera Co. has brought together over 50 eminent professionals - our Associate Artists http://www.co-opera-co.org/html/associate_artists.HTML - to work with over 700 trainees and emerging artists – our Associate Members - in a two tiered, coupled system:-Co-Opera Co.
