    We reflect the city we work in – with our audiences, artists and the stories we tell. Our ground-breaking work constantly attracts new and ever-changing audiences. Unlike other opera houses, we make our outreach work central to the artistic product. Our participants from all over Birmingham – singing their story - make opera accessible to new audiences and introduce new ideas.

        I attended the Helikopter Quartett's premiere in Amsterdam in 1996 iirc - and they make a hell of a noise .
        But I'd love to attend Mittwoch aus Licht

        Great news

                  This is excellent news! Worth my making the long interplanetary journey for sure.
