Transforming lives through music and drama

Kent Opera supports young performers and brings the transformative power of music and drama to prisoners and those at risk.

Kent Opera was England's first regional opera company, founded in 1969 to bring the finest performances of opera to enthusiasts living outside of London.

Having to cease production in the 1990s, due to funding issues, since April 2016 Kent Opera the charity has worked hard to maintain the fine traditions of the original opera company in a variety of education and outreach projects.
