‘Streetwise Opera is one of the most innovative charities of this decade…’
- Prime Minister Gordon Brown

 

Streetwise Opera uses music as a tool to help people who have experienced homelessness move forward in their lives. We do this through a weekly music programme in 11 homeless centres around England and by staging an annual professional production. Streetwise’s latest production, My Secret Heart is touring internationally, reaching an estimated audience of 100,000 - see www.mysecretheart.co.uk for more details.

Streetwise Opera produces work of equal artistic and social merit - never compromising with either. In aiming for this synergy we can platform the skills of our performers in an arena that is not tokenistic or patronising and totally inclusive. Instead of focusing on the needs of our performers, we celebrate their achievements.
