Award-winning homelessness charity Streetwise Opera joins the chorus of voices calling for urgent action on the climate crisis, and I thought this might be of interest to you.
People with lived experience of homelessness in Manchester have been working over the past six months to raise their voices for climate justice through singing. As a result, they’ve produced a brief opera performance, Nature, that invites audiences to experience the climate emergency not as an abstract issue but as something deeply personal.
This 20-minute pop-up performance celebrates the natural world while urging us to take urgent action to protect it. Inspired by the research and reflection that participants have done about nature and the environment, it features music by composers like Handel, Delibes, Dvořák, Rimsky-Korsakov and Britten.
We (Streetwise Opera) would be honoured if you could join us for either of these performances.
