June 2026

Join our community choir and sing with the OAE and 100 other performers on stage

We are very excited to be partnering in June 2026 with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment for a performance of their community opera, The Fairy Queen: Three Wishes, and we’re looking for SATB singers to be part of the on-stage choir!

Reasons to take part

  • Be part of a magical new opera for all the family. Composer James Redwood and writer Hazel Gould have reimagined Henry Purcell’s 1692 work to tell the story about wishes that come true, and what happens when they do, as we learn about friendship, love and telling the truth…
  • Exciting opportunity to be part of a fantastic and uplifting community production, led by outstanding OAE professionals and performed on stage in our world-class auditorium.
  • Sing with over 100 performers including OAE musicians and opera singers, a community choir, a primary school choir and a secondary school band.
  • Learn from professionals. As part of the community choir, you will participate in advance rehearsals led by WMC Chorus director Mike Daniels as well as a rehearsal the day before the performance led by OAE artists.
