About

If Opera has several acclaimed productions to its name and a reputation for artistic excellence, with a focus on supporting emerging artists and enriching the local community. Their approach is to create a relaxed and welcoming setting in which to showcase spectacular opera. The festival entices some of the best musicians and singers to the South West, and this year is no exception.

For the 2024 season, hosted in the beautiful gardens of Bradford on Avon's Belcombe Court, If Opera brings two of the greatest operas in the repertoire to the stage: Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor and Strauss’s Die Fledermaus, together with the popular picnic prom featuring JTQ - The James Taylor Quartet and a children’s concert, Little Red Riding Hood.

Join If Opera for a summer of sensational opera, funky jazz and Revolting Rhymes…
