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 professional opera productions.

Streetwise Opera aims to produce work of equal artistic and social merit so we can platform the skills of our performers in an arena that is inclusive but not tokenistic. Underpinning our performances we run weekly singing sessions which our performers find a dependable source of regular activity in lives that can be chaotic and challenging.

Streetwise’s latest production, a film and music installation My Secret Heart by Mira Calix, Flat-e and 101 Streetwise performers is touring internationally with an audience of over 150,000 so far – see www.mysecretheart.co.uk for more details. Click the film below to see a trailer of the piece.
